Annual Camping Trip

It's now officially an annual camping trip with the Rickey, Evans and Westerlind families! This Memorial Day Weekend our friends, Sam and Belinda, let us stay with them in their RV camper - so much fun!

We went to Fort Tuthill in Flagstaff. While the weather made things "exciting" with the intermitant thunderstorms, we were still able to get in all the things we wanted to do inbetween the downpours. Here's a photo summary:

The boys and their own little tent
Jacob took this photo of his feet while on the hiking trail
Josh playing foosball in the rec center on the camp grounds
Josh wasn't diggin' the s'mores... oh well - more for us!
Sam and Belinda!
Chubby Bunnies Jon and Sally
Hiking through the forrest (Josh was napping)
Jacob couldn't wait for the marshmellos!
Kyle and Ali!
Jacob led the group on the hike - what a stud!
There were some fun memories. At one point, it started hailing with thunder and lighting! We thought the boys would be gonners in their tent outside, but it dried up enough by nightfall. We feasted on hot dogs and hamburgers, homemade cole slaw (Belinda is the best!), corn salsa, and the ultimate egg/cheese breakfast burritos all weekend. The girls pranked the boys by hiding all the campfire cobbler in a tupperware inside the RV and saying they "ate it all" after dinner (hehe). We had a rousing game of Catch Phrase after dark. We even had time for a girls/boys volleyball game with the kids cheering us on. The boys won... well, there's always next year.
We're thinking of another trip at the end of the summer. It's so much fun!! Cheers to camping and a great family/friends weekend!
