Annual Camping at Valley of Fire


We found a perfect weekend to go camping.  No one had early sports on Saturday and the weather was great.  We pulled the kids out of school a little early and went to our favorite camp site.  While we set up the camp, the kids went off to climb and explore.  I love going camping because even if the kids are fighting all the way there, as soon as we get out, they are best friends and they have a blast playing together.  This was the first time Ruby has gone camping.  I thought she'd like it more.  But I think she really hated that the other kids could go run and climb and she just couldn't.  She was stuck around the camp with me and Bob.

We cooked the regular hot dogs and smores.  Seth was a pyromaniac!! He loved watching his food burn in the fire.  I think he went through a whole bag himself.

We explored some of our own hikes where we found rocks that explode into sand when you throw them.  The kids all loved that! And we visited the Cabins and Elephant Rock.
