Camping

We had a fun little getaway this weekend. I took the kids and met Dad in Joshua Tree. Grandpa Sorensen and Caleb and Corbin also came along - they were camping with the Scouts (Brooke and Grandma came out in the morning as well as Erin and David). We camped in some BLM land (no potties, but Ben has gotten very comfortable just using nature...actually he is very fond of doing it this way). We set up a tent which Caelan and Ben and Megan slept in. Dad and Nathan and I slept in the van (right next to the tent with the windows open)...actually Megan joined us late in the night as well). It was cool, but not cold and hardly any wind (perfect for the fire). We ate tinfoil dinners on Friday night and eggs, potatoes and sausage on Sat. morning. Then we spent the day climbing rocks, hiking and riding bikes (it was more like "coasting" downhill for 10 miles - very fun).

We had a blast, and have a little sun-kissed skin to show for it. It made us realize that we need to camp much more often - so fun!
