Camping with the Freemans!

It is so nice to get outta town, even if it's only for a couple days! We went to Bear Canyon Lake

with our next door neighbors, the Freeman's. We are so lucky to live in a neighborhood with so

many great families around us! It only took us all summer to get it together but we were

so glad that we finally did!

Catching CrawDads! This was the highlight of the trip, we spent most of the afternoon

"hunting" for the things because Daren promised to boil them up for dinner!

Amy was so hilarious with her "hunting" skills! She said she always wanted to be a marine biologist when she grew up! So I guess when you live in Arizona, the best way to live your dream is to catch crawdads! She was the master catcher!
Ashton and her pinchered friend.

We decided to be adventurous and take a hike on our way out! The only thing we found was a forrest of ferns!

While the men were out fishing the women were back at camp getting ready for dinner, so

my fire building skills came in handy! Had to get a pic of the blazer for future reference! I was glad to know that if I was stranded in the woods I could survive without a man...hee hee.

Ashton our little preteen! She was not happy about coming on this camping trip. She told us "this is not exactly how I planned on spending my weekend!" She listened to her IPod instead of building teepees in the woods like she did in her younger years! At 11 I am wondering what the heck I am in for when she is a real teenager. Yikes.She did end up enjoying herself afterall! It wasn't so bad was it now?


I Love making memories with my family! Even if they aren't perfect ones, (like sleeping in the car because you are arguing with your man) these kinds of things are what our kids are going to remember when they are grown! (Hopefully not the before mentioned part!) It was a good time all in all and we are glad the Freeman's spent it with us! Thanks you guys!
