The First B Marsh Family Camping Trip

The girls have been wanting to go camping all summer long, so we finally did it! Yes, the whole family went camping. We packed up the car and headed up the canyon. We took more for our one night camping than we did for our nine days in California!

The girls were so excited they could hardly sleep the night before. They got themselves ready just like they had see their Dad do so many times before. (It really was their own idea to put their bandannas on like that)


We found a great spot. There was just one problem, the tent was too big for the pre-made tent spot.



So Brandon found another semi-level spot and worked to level it out a bit more.


It was perfect, well almost!


We went down to the stream.



We had boat races.
We painted rocks and made nature collages


We blew bubbles


We burnt, I mean roasted marshmallows




We went on a short hike


We ate cookies at nine in the morning


The kids got REALLY dirty.


It took hours of preparing and packing and hours of unpacking and cleaning, but this made it all worth it.



We had a great time!!
