Labor Day Camping

We just returned from 4 days of camping in the White Mountains. There were 18 of us that went and we sure had alot of fun. Here we are playing card games. We do lots of that when camping. I taught Kamrielle how to play UNO and she caught on really quickly. Everyone had to play with her atleast once. She even had the trash talking down. She's a Pro!
I don't know what it is about a campfire but it seems to mesmerize people.
There was just something about this tree that I liked.

We had quite a bit of rain while there but the kids found ways to play right out in it.

We just loved it that it was cold enough to wear a jacket.
We took alot of walks. I was able to get Carder to sleep on this one.
The boys played football out in the meadow one afternoon. Even Uncle Tim joined in on this game.
The Reidheads joined us for the weekend. Sorry Jim, I didn't get a picture of you. Not sure how that happened. Here is Tamra with their cute dog, Camdon was so happy about her being there.

If you look down to the bottom right you will see Kamrielle's pizza that she was cooking up.
This is my favorite picture of the weekend. Love it!!!

Check out the knees of his pants. Can you tell they were having a blast?
Ray, it's just good to see you sit and take it easy. He is such a hard worker.

We drove up to Greens Peak and hiked up the tower. Here is a view looking towards Carnero Lake and Springerville.
This is a view looking towards Vernon.

I don't like to put pictures of just scenery in but I thought this was exceptionally beautiful!
Here is a close up of Springerville from Greens Peak.
This view is looking towards Sunrise.

It was another memorable weekend. Thanks everyone!
