Camping with the kids

We decided to go camping! We haven't camped since before I was pregnant with the twins. The kids loved it! They thought sleeping in a tent with sleeping bags was so cool! We camped in a place that had a little pool and a small playground. This was the kids had something to do. There was even showers at this place. So it wasn't out in the middle of no where.


This was Zack reading while he was waiting for breakfast.
The first day we went to 7 falls. It was pretty cool. It was a lot of money for the the hour that we spend their. It would be more worth it when you didn't have young kids, but I wasn't going to make my kids hike up 350 stairs:)
More falls
These are the stairs I was talking about.
We did take an elevator but to a lookout point and the kids liked that.
Walking into the falls

After the falls we went to Garden of the Gods and walked around the trails. Here are a few pictures. It was really windy here so they wouldn't open their eyes.Drinking hot chocolate in the morning.

We are going to try this again for the our ward camp out. I hope they do as well as we did this time.

We were hoping you would have some wonderful pictures of your camping trip and you did not disappoint. We set one as our desktop background.

Love, Dad

How cool for you to take the kids camping, I think that they are all at just the right age to learn to like it. ANd what a great life experience for them.

looks like you all had so much fun! Camping with the kids isn't exactly a walk in the park, but it is rewarding to make the memories!
