Weekend of Camping

Last weekend Spencer and I took off to go camping here in Flagstaff. We left right after work on Friday and got back Saturday night. 

It really was so fun to just hang out, see the pretty storm going over, eating tin foil dinners, hiking, and playing croquet.

The whole month of July we have gotten a pretty good rain storm each day where it just down pours. We have loved it and so have the plants. As we were driving around trying to find a spot, the clouds kept getting darker and closer. So we decided to wait to set up the tent but we did start the fire for our tinfoil dinners. 

 These pictures barely show how cool and dark the clouds were. Lots of thunder all around us, but far away.

 The fire kept going so we were able to cook our tinfoil dinners. It did sprinkle for a bit but not bad at all. We thought it was going to pour like it always does at our house, and we were only 20 minutes away from our house.

Spencer was playing around with the camera and had fun taking pictures like this one.

 The next day was perfect weather. No rainy clouds until we got home, then it poured and poured. We enjoyed going on a hike during the day just out of our campsite. It was more of a good walk then a hike, but my pregnant body still needed a break here and there.

After the hike, we hung out at our campsite, played croquet, read our books, and then had brats for dinner. I love that it was so close to town yet so peaceful and relaxing.
