Green Canyon Camping Trip
Last night we went on our last camping trip for the year. Darren had the idea to camp at Green Canyon Hot Springs (which is only 40 miles away) and go swimming. The camp ground is the best kind - it's grass so it's not as dirty! We got there around 5 pm, set up camp, cooked hot dogs for dinner and then went swimming for about three hours. Kevin did his first front flip off the diving board, Ethan did his first jump off the diving board (with a life jacket) and Jake and I played in the shallow end while Darren helped the bigger kids. Then we went back to camp to make smores. Each one of the kids actually asked to get their pjs on and go into the tent (I know that's not exactly asking to go to bed, but close enough). I can't say I got a great night's sleep. I was a little cold but I don't think anyone else was. And, of course, when you sleep in close proximity to Ethan you get to hear him moan. This morning the boys were awake first and not very quiet. Hopefully, they didn't keep any of the neighbors from sleeping in. We packed up after a cold breakfast and came home. Here are a couple of pictures.

That sounds fun. Good thing you did it before Monday. It's supposed to get cold.
that looks like a lot of fun. We were supposed to go camping this year but every time we planned it the trip fell through. There is always next year though!
That's my kind of camping...lots of grass and not so much cooking! Way to go. (Pat here--Carl wouldn't make that cooking comment)
