The rest of Spring Break....

....was spent camping!! This camper might not be pretty, but it is SO much better than a tent! (AND it was free, remember!?) We camped outside of Hurricane, UT at a place called Gooseberry Mesa with a bunch of friends. The weather was not what we expected. We had been watching the forecast and it was supposed to be a warm, pleasant week...it wasn't! It was cloudy, WINDY, and cold!! In spite of it all, we spent our days outside "playing" and our nights talking and playing games around the campfire. We did lots of mountain biking too which was so much fun!

Way to go Mollie! :)
I just had to take some closeup shots of these dirty, messy girls. They are just like their dad and they LOVE to be in the outdoors.


My favorite part of camping (in addition to the company) is the campfire. This isn't a very good picture, but it was fun to roast marshmallows every night! Regan was getting really good at roasting a "perfect" brown marshmallow!!
I think Mollie was the dirtiest kid there! Her pink sweatshirt was brown by the end of the day!
Don't ask me why, but the kids decided to bury themselves in the dirt. Carli was the first one...
There was so much petrified wood where we camped! The kids went "exploring" every day for petrified wood. We have quite the collection!
Poor Layla was so tired! It took her almost a week to fully recover from this trip!!
The "girls" (L-R: Christy, Celeste, MindyL, Melissa, Chrissy, Amy, me)


The whole crew! Good times and great memories!!
