Camping Season Opener

I love camping!  It's like you take a step out of reality for a few days and forget about the responsibilities of being an adult.  You're forced to relax because you don't have all of the temptations of cleaning, laundry, work, social media, etc....  Our first camping adventure of the season took us down to the San Rafael Swell near Temple Mountain and Goblin Valley.  I'll let the photos do the talking on this one (and there are lots of them)...

I was trying to get the cooler ready to go...

Does anyone need a new car?

We hiked Crack Canyon one day.  Abigail carried her bear, Dennis, the entire hike.

Can you tell there were a lot of kids on this camping trip?!

Somebody loves s'mores!

The next day we hiked Little Wild Horse Canyon.

There were a few parts of the hike that got pretty narrow.  On this particular part, you also had to hike through ankle-deep (freezing cold) water.

awww...

They really did have a great time, even though their faces don't show it in these photos.

    

These two peas in a pod were just the cutest together.

Temple Mountain is the one on the left.

We had an awesome time with fabulous friends and amazing views and scenery.  It was a great way to start our camping season.
