Camp Out

As one last hurrah before school started we decided to go camping. This was very last minute but we found a beautiful camp spot at Jones Pass near a little town called Empire.
Our spot was right next to a little waterfall and a great hill for the kids to climb up and play on.
We were sure to get right to work. Dad and Trey were in charge of putting up the tent.
Avrey watched over the goods while the tent was being set up!
Once the tent was set up Kaden and Avrey were so excited to blow up the air mattresses.

For dinner we enjoyed Jeff's wonderful dutch oven sweet chili and the sunset while eating s'mores! This was Kaden & Avrey's first time camping and as the sun went down Kaden kept saying he was ready to go home. He was a little nervous about sleeping outside but had a great time.

Everyone survived the night but woke up freezing. The kids didn't love the cold but once we got the fire going they had a great time!
Before we headed home we went for a short hike along the creek. It was such a beautiful place!
Worlds cutest daddy's girl!!

You know you have been on a great camp out when you walk away with 10 pounds of dirt on your body and you pass out the moment you get home! Can't wait to do it again!
