camping.

Every so often , we get these camping cravings. Andrew loves camping, and I like it for about 1 night. So, since it's warmin up, & we don't know how much longer Andrew will have weekends off, we packed up and headed for the hills. This is Silver Reef, up Leeds canyon. It was kind of cold that day, of course. The rest of the week had been very warm. But it wasn't freezing. Well, sorta. When night hit, we realized we did not have enough blankets. We basically froze our butts off for half the night, then oddly it warmed up. Jax slept nestled in-between us, and I'm pretty sure he was warm cause he was out like a lamp. We were so surprised at how good of a camper he is!!

It's way pretty. We had an awesome view from our camping spot. you can see all of Leeds, some of Hurricane & Laverkin.

Just for kicks & giggles, I brought my old digital "point and shoot" camera. Now I know how HUGE of a difference there is. It was driving me nuts. But I was able to edit some of these to look okay. I Just wanted to see if I could ever go back. Nope unless emergency calls for it, I'm hooked on my Rebel.

Here's Jax helping Dad set up camp. He's so helpful.

Our CAMP.

And our HAPPY CAMPER.

Dad teaching Jax the basics about fire.

There's the Handy-Andy doin what he does best.....everything.

Our camp-site was pretty awesome. There were these rocks on one side of us for Jax to climb on. He went up in that little crevice all by himself! cute.

Andrew made me cut the firewood!! Yeah right! I did it for about 1 minute until I realized how stinkin hard it was.

My cute Boysies.

our little "hike"

the pretty view at the end of our hike.

Boys will be Boys.....

Jax loved playing in the dirt. Yep, 100% boy!

Fun stuff! Glad to be back home where there are showers and mattresses!
