A few weeks ago, we went on our first camping trip of the year with my brother’s family. Cliff and I have been going to Paradise Valley since we were university students. It is still run by the same family and it is wonderfully quiet.

This was also my mom’s first time camping in over 50 years. She was a little skeptical, but I think she did alright.

The kids had a blast, and got sooo dirty! When we got home, they turned the bath water grey.

S’mores!

S’mores FTW!

Groggy morning face.

Savanna won’t let me put her sweater on for her. She wanted Josh to help her.

Rather than painting rocks, she painted her face.
