Impromptu Camping Trip


Seriously, who named this National Forest?? Please be sure to notice the cactus in the background, as appose to the typical pine tree you would see in a real forest.

The boys, hypnotized by the fire as we wait for tin-foil dinners to cook.

Our first attempt at dutch oven cooking- the peach cobbler was fantastic! We had way too much. We need to bring friends with us next time.

Trying to get the boys to go to sleep in the tent...

The boys made breakfast while I tried (unsuccesfully) to get more sleep!

Alan was supposed to go camping this weekend with the scouts he is in charge of at church. Since it was raining in northern Arizona, they cancelled the trip last minute. Alan had already rescheduled his afternoon patients for next week, so we piled in the car and made it a family camping trip! We had a great time- it was so nice to spend some time just the four of us. Now we all smell like campfire and we all need a nap.
