Camping

The last weekend before Scott's last break was over we decided to head up north a couple of hours where it is cooler and go camping. We had a lot of fun, despite the girls feeling sick part of the time. The first night we camped outside of Flagstaff, and the second night we drove down to Mormon Lake.

Emma enjoys breakfast, too.

Smile, Katelynn!

One thing we did is hike through a lava cave! It's an underground cave formed by lava flows. The temperature inside is so cold that ice forms and you can see your breath! Here are the kids waiting outside the cave.

Inside the cave. It was very dark, and we gave all the kids a glow bracelet to wear and their own little flashlight, which they thought was pretty cool.

 

Here is a picture of the kids helping take down their tent while Mommy works on breakfast. What big helpers!

It was nice to just get away as a family and spend some time together.
