CAMPING!

This past weekend we went camping at Clear Creek, which is about 1 hour southeast of Flagstaff. It was a beautiful weekend. We were trying to get out of the cold, and were successful to find 80 degree weather! It was perfect. Our first night was a little chilly, and we all bundled up with lots of layers and even our beanies, but when the morning came so did the sun! The girls had a blast just playing in the water with their buckets and fishing poles. We did a little hiking (walking) and a little fishing (Daniel caught one little one), and the rest of the time was spent relaxing and the typical camping chores. We saw a few different species that we haven't seen while camping, one was poison ivy, and the other was a weird looking centipede! We kept our distances and just enjoyed looking at them! We also were blessed to have our family grow after this trip. We left with just the four and 1/2 of us and came home with a lizard and 3 minnows! Daniel caught a lizard for the girls to see, and Taylin couldn't stand to let it go. So now, Sparkles (the Lizard) is in an giant Parmesan container with holes sitting on Taylin's dresser. We were privilege to go get crickets for it yesterday. The minnows were caught by Taylin and she decided Rayna needed a pet too! So, the minnows do not yet have names, but our now sitting on the girls dresser as well. I'm so excited to have these new members to our family (can you hear the sarcasm?).
