We took a family camping trip this past weekend. We went camping with Jenna's family (Mom, 2 sisters, nieces, nephews, and Audra's boyfriend and 4 boys). The kids outnumbered the adults, there were 12 of them! We headed up to the refuge of the cool mountains, and it was a wonderful escape from the summer heat. We got to the campsite Friday afternoon for set-up and spent most of weekend enjoying each others company and relaxing. So nice! Although not the best night's sleep for the McCoys. Roughing it on the hard, rocky ground is not something we want to do again. That will be remedied for next time with a nice big air mattress. The group took several hikes, went to the local waterfall, and had a nice big campfire complete with s'mores. We all were curious to know what was prowling around our campsite at night. We could hear something moving around outside of our tents, but no one was brave enough to check it out. When we checked in with the rangers they told us that bears, mountain lions, javalinas or elk are all around the area. We were all keeping our fingers crossed that they were just elk! We packed up on Sunday and headed back to the heat and home sweet home! Here are a few pictures from the trip. We did not get that many, because we enjoyed ourselves so much that we just forgot to take them.
Audra and Jenna got to steal away an hour from the kiddos to take a sister hike. While on the hike they came across some very large footprints, so they changed directions not wanting to meet up with whatever it was that had made those prints!
Tristan hears a who. This weed looked straight out of Dr. Seuss.
We made a fairy house with the 4 younger girls for Tinkerbell and her friends.
Bryan and Steven making us an awesome campfire.
Aisy, our little gypsy girl. She spent all weekend barefoot and covered in dirt. That's our girl!
