CAMPING!!!!

We found the best spot for camping ever!! Pine Flats camp sites on Oak Creek. We did have to make our reservations 21/2 months ahead of time but, so worth it.

The kids were so excited to get there, can't you tell. Our site was the one with the water spout, the big trash cans were right across from us (close with no smell - sweet) and the creek was right behind us. We spent lots of time down there "fishing", watching bugs eat other bugs, spotting tad poles, hiking everywhere and anything else you can do down at the creek. Friday we played at the creek, had diner, roasted marshmallows and hit the sack (Mine and JP's luckily was a blown up sack) in our new tent, which I love and it served us well. The weather was perfect and so Sat. we headed up the street to Slide Rock. It was my first time and the kids too. Yes! the water is cold but, it was way fun. Those pict's will come later. The way our family is shaping up Wee One is the dare devil. She was freezing and being dunked under on the larger slides but, with shaking body and purple lips she would say, I go again! Girly slide vertically on the flat rocks and that was good for her. Speed would NOT pay attention to walking carefully and slipped and fell more times than I can count. Finally after being there for two hours of being there and it being time to leave, Speed decided to be bold and hit some of the slide area's. He was so upset we were leaving now that he was having fun. (So sorry hun) We had lunch at Slide Rock and head back to camp via a cute little Dairy Queen we found. Yum! The family next to us had arrived and they had two kids 7 and 4. It was perfect. The five of them played till they had to go to sleep (we even had guests for smore time) and picked it up the second they woke up. They played and played till we packed up to leave. Girly was giving them our number so Mia (7 year old girl) could call her. We all had a fabulous time. It was needed and very much enjoyed. Nature has a way of resetting all your buttons. Sedona truly IS beautiful.



















JP had a big foot sighting while we were there. What do you see in the tree?








I will post more pict's later.
