Camping

We had a great time camping with Moores and their boys last weekend. We went up to Pebble Canyon Campground above Lava Hot Springs and pitched our tents. It was a great trip despite a steady wind. The kids had so much fun running up and down the little hill between the tent sites and roasting hot dogs and s'mores. I've never seen our girls so dirty, but they had a blast. The kids even slept well in the tent, although we may need to get a larger one for future trips.

Here's the group: Tyler, Carter, Ashley, Ryker, Emma, Nick, Tonya, and Ashlyn.

Our little hill side. Ryker and Carter's trucks rode down it very well.
Geesh! How can I get dirtier? Bring on the ashes!

Ryker, Carter, Ashlyn, and Emma posing while on our short nature hike. Why are the boys smiling so well while the girls are the ones with their tongues out? Silly kiddos.

After camping, we drove down to Downata Hot Springs. The day was quite cool, so Lava Hot Springs wasn't quite warm enough. The other springs' pools were 98 degrees. It was perfect. We all had fun splashing and going down some really fun slides. Sorry no pictures. No one wanted to get out of the warm water long enough to grab the camera. Thanks Tyler and Ashley for a great trip.
