A couple of weeks ago, Kaedance and I were watching 'John and Kate Plus 8', when they went camping in their backyard. Kaedance asked if we could go camping mostly to make S'mores and see the stars. So this past weekend we decided to go with our BFF's and their girls, out to the Valley of Fire. I've never been there and it was such a gorgeous place.
It was really hot! We picked a campground spot with a lot of shade, but it was still so hot even through the night. We made the best of it! The girls had so much fun climbing the red rocks and playing in the tents. We had roasted hot dogs and Smores for dinner and enjoyed seeing the stars in the sky since you don't see them much living in Vegas.
Camping is not my most fav activity, but it was fun to give the kids an adventure and memories that I hope they will remember. It's always fun to spend time away with your friends and enjoy the true beauty of nature. Even our dog, Flash, had a blast climbing and playing in the dirt. It was a good time!
(Here are some pics of the trip, but my camera died when I really wanted to get more shots. I hate when that happens!)

Oh how fun! Maybe one of the times we come to visit you can take us up there!
Oh, and the next time you are here visiting, and it warm enough, we will have to all go 4-wheeling!!! :)
Love You Four! Miss you too!
Looks like fun- too bad it was so hot! I'm so ready for Fall- it's just too hot still! Maybe it will cool off soon- we hope!
I LOVE Valley of Fire. It is SO pretty! We have been camping/day-tripping there many times. The best time to go is definitely early or late in the year. Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun! I love Landon's little camo. hat!
How cool! That looks like fun but I am very curious as to how Landon slept! I guess it's just hard for my mind to process because getting Aubrey to sleep was such an ordeal, so i can't even imagine taking a baby camping! E-mail me and tell me all about it! I'm intrigued. =)
Glad you had fun. Camping is not really my thing, but you guys look like you had fun. Landon is adorable, of course. I love the pics of Goob.
