Camping Again!

Steven and I went camping by ourselves for the first time and had so much fun. We were a bit worried we’d be bored out of our minds since the only other times we’ve been camping we’ve been with a group of people but we had a blast! We were worried we’d get rained on since the forecast had a 70% of rain in Williams and we got poured on while driving up there but as soon as we got past Flagstaff and on our way to Williams it was beautiful. We finally found a good spot to camp and set everything up. The weather the entire time was gorgeous and we got a few sprinkles at one point but that was it. We took walks, took lots of pictures, ate yummy food, studied our homework, cut a LOT of firewood with a bow saw (definitely got our workout!), talked and talked and talked, took naps and just enjoyed being by ourselves with absolutely no distractions. It was a great vacation even though it took 4 hours getting home (big accident on the 17, had to go through Payson)

With our first pile of firewood!

Steven said "I'll do a Kyle face" :)

We couldn't fit a table in our car so this was our makeshift table for playing cards

We were a little worried about where we were camping because there were a lot of trees that looked like they had been struck by lightning!

Pretty wildflowers

Our little campsite

The hammock--best place for taking naps!

Ugh--stupid s'mores! We wanted them really bad but that was AFTER we had driven into Williams so when we got back to camp, Steven decided to go back into town to get stuff. However, no grocery store or gas station had anything so he stopped at a KOA or some place like that and finally found stuff BUT it was a rip-off! $5.00 for graham crackers, $4.10 for marshmallows and $2.50 for the candy bar. They were good though :)

Obviously!

Anyway, we had fun and learned a few things we need to bring next time but for the most part, everything went smoothly and we'll definitely be doing it again next year!
