Our ward planned a campout for last weekend up near Red Rock but cancelled at the last minute because they couldn't get enough campsites. But by that time, we'd already committed our neighbors to go with us. We weren't thrilled with the location the ward had picked and since we'd already asked them to go with us, we were stuck. But we changed locations to Valley of Fire and we set out. I know what you're thinking - yes, I went camping. In a tent. Overnight. This was Katelyn's first camping trip and Kelsey was a pro. Dave decided on Valley of Fire for the organized campsite and it would probably be better for Katelyn with flush toilets, and it was warmer. All in all, it was a pretty good time.
We got out of the truck and Kelsey found rocks to climb almost immediately. She recruted Brianne to come with her since we were setting up tents.
Katelyn slept the whole ride there so she's still a little sleepy for this. But aren't they cute
This is how high they actually were, and I'm on the ground. Katelyn - not scared one bit. And tried many times to climb up on her own.
She was all about climbing.
Just the right size for her head!!The bedtime routine...
...is always a lot harder when you're not in your own bed. We laid them down at 9:30 and I think by 10 they were finally asleep. Not bad for her first night in a tent.

Yeah, that's an air mattress. What can I say, we're a bunch of girls when it comes to comfort.
The next morning they were right back at it again. See, following her sister.
Trying hard not to fall.
Just enjoying some time with their dad.
Packing up getting ready to leave. The girls had a great time and we all came back in one piece. And amazing, not one accident for Katelyn. We did have to make sure we were close enough to the bathrooms though!! We all had a great time and I admit, I'd go back there again. Anyone up for joining us?

Just let me get Kenzie through breast feeding and we are there. Sounds like you all had a great time! Way to be brave!
So fun! I am proud of you camping!! Way to go!
Some of my favorite camping trips growing up were at red rock-cimbing sites in Utah. I'm so envious!!
My girls have only gone on one(yes--count that ONE) campout with their daddy. He claims he spends way too much time camping with the Scouts to take more time out for us.
We're going to adopt Dave and you to take us camping. We've done the beach camp...now we are ready for Valley of Fire!
Cute pictures! Looks like you guys had a great time!
hmmm... toilets that flush I might be able to hang. :)
How fun. We love camping. We haven't ever been out there though, we always go to Utah where its nice and cool!! Your girls are too cute.
That looks like so much fun! We need to camp more!
