4th of July fun


Have I mentioned how much we enjoy camping, and would go all the time if we could. So spur of the moment we decided to leave town on Friday July 3rd and head it up to Prescott, where the weather was much cooler. We arrived at the campsite around 7:00 or so, and were not impressed. But we were there and going to have a good time. Once we found a place to call home for the next few nights the kids were running around and having fun chasing each other. And as the night became darker that meant SMORES.


Morgan also lover her smores but she prefers the marshmallows by themselves :)




We didn't plan this trip very well, when we go camping we always bring the dog. Those that don't know our dog, we have a very fat dachsund. The next day was the 4th of July and there was a big festival downtown we wanted to go to. So we drive there and the walk to get to the festival is 1 mile and here we have a dog we have to bring with us who can't walk that far and we were not about to carry him, plus the heat was awful. So what did we do? We took both strollers with us, the double stroller for Cameron and Rusty (dog) and the small one for Morgan. We made it over to the festival and the kids did a few things but not much. It was really hard with the dog, he was hot and not enjoying himself one bit. But while we were there Cameron got to ride a pony and play in some boune jumps. Morgan played in the sand while brother was off having all the fun.














The kids had a blast back at the campsite for the rest of the day before fireworks. Cameron rode his scooter and Morgan walked the dog. They climbed on rocks and loved all the really tall trees.











Later that night we watched the fireworks from a parking lot so we could miss all the traffic and get back to camp at a decent hour.
