Payson Lakes

At the end of June we went on our first "real" camp out for the year. We went down to Payson Lakes with my brother Peter and his family. We were lucky enough to get one of the last campsites available. Don't get me wrong, I can and have camped in the great outdoors, but being pregnant camping is so much better at an actual camp site.
While we were setting up camp Anna decided to run, fall, flip and basically scrape her face on the pavement. Emily saw the fall and said it was pretty good. Here are some of our favorite pictures of Anna's face after the fall.

That was probably the most exciting part of our camp out. Other than that, we did the normal camping things. We ate smores.

Devin couldn't just have a normal smore, he had to try a "tinfoil" smore.

We sat around the fire and talked. So our hair and clothes could smell like campfire for days.

The next morning we had more fun exploring and hiking. The kids just loved being outside.

We went down to the lake and walked around on one of the trails.

The kids had fun watching the people fish.

After wandering around the lake we went on a short hike to Grotto Falls. This hike was perfect for the kids. It was really short and had lots of fun bridges to cross.

Anna wasn't so sure about the actual falls.

Walking across the small bridges the highlight of the hike. Anna loved it.

This was a really fun quick camping trip. Zach said it best when were almost done with our hike, "Daddy, I want to stay here forever!" I feel the same way.
