Family Camping Trip

Yes, you read the title right, Family Camping Trip. My type of camping is staying at a hotel close to a campground, but not this time. Little Man told me he would miss me bunches when they went camping and asked if I would go with them. How could I resist such a request? So, off we went camping for 24 hours up to Payson. In a Tent. Overnight. No Showers, No Toilet.

It didn't take Little Man long to find a leaf the size of his head! I guess this if proof that some places in Arizona have four seasons...We did find a sweet camping spot right by a stream where the boys were able to go fishing and play with the live bait. I did not touch any worms or bait any hooks, but watched closely as everyone else in the family did.... And I loved watching how happy they were! Just in case you were wondering what kind of bait we had...Here's Adam teaching Little Man Fishing 101...Little Man listened closely and truly loves fishing. So this time Adam let him bait his own hooks, casting the line, and reel in his FIRST fish all by himself!!! I was so proud of him! His smile could not have been any bigger! This picture will definitely be framed!Meanwhile, Little Ax was crossing over the rocks and he was so happy that he was able to walk in the freezing cold water until he realized the shoes and socks didn't dry as fast as they got wet! In the course of a few hours, the boys caught eight fish! Adam may have been a little excited..Overall, a great camping trip and who knows I may even go back again next time :)
