For David's birthday, we got him a brand new tent (seeing as we sold ours after we sold the truck).
We finally got around to using it Memorial Day weekend - just as the boys got out of school.
We went up to Deadhorse Ranch and had a blast.
We did, however, find out that David and I are WAY too old for sleeping on the ground anymore. We didn't mean to find that out; our air mattress died on us.
The Slide Rock fires were in full swing this weekend, and we could see and smell the smoke quite heavily while we were there.
Thanks to Ashley, we were able to eat! The fire restrictions were changed literally hours after I last checked them. She was kind enough to run into town to get a stove so we could cook.
Our poor little Arizona sun rats. Once the sun started setting, they started getting cold.
(No. It wasn't really cold.)
Jessa spent 95% of her time right there - in close proximity to all consumables.
The boys playing hide and seek with Lala.
Evidently this is the best hiding spot they could come up with.
It's a good thing Brychan insisted on bringing his tooth fairy pillow with him! Sure enough, his 4th tooth fell out while we were up there. It's also a good thing the Tooth Fairy was prepared and managed to find us. Not that he really cared...he gave his spoils to Kehlton first thing in the morning.
Our last evening there, another family "moved in" right next door. All of the kids were the same ages and they had a blast. Isn't it amazing how children just instantly bond? They don't care who the other kids are, where they're from or anything else. They just want to play.
Have I mentioned before what an easy baby she is? She still took her two naps a day while we were up there...I just walked her around camp for 5 minutes each time and she went out. I don't think I've ever seen a child that likes her sleep as much as Jessa does!
