Camping

Several of our neighbors were going camping over Labor Day weekend “up North” near Payson. Ava asked (and Dad agreed) to go for a night. Let’s just say it was an interesting 24 hour trip.

We left on Friday afternoon. Due to a major accident, it took us almost 4 hours to make the less than 2 hour trip. By the time we got to the campsite it was dark – nothing quite like setting up camp in dark, under al the stars. Luckily Ava and the other kids kept busy having fun.

Pretty soon it was time for bed.

The next morning Ava slept in a little bit.

Still sleepily walking out…

…with a killer view!

Ava and her friend (also named Ava) took time to pose for photos.

And played lacrosse with the boys.

She got to shoot a BB gun.

Later we went for a hike in the creek.

Climbed across some rocks.

and practiced our balance.

then it was time for a group photo.

before we drove home….Ava slept most of the way home…

It was a quick trip…
