Every Memorial Day we head out to the West Dessert to go camping, hiking, 4-wheeling, and relaxing. We have been soooo ready for a vacation and so excited to go camping again. This may be our only camping trip this summer with the baby. My due date is on the day that we usually go on another one of our trips, and now with my due date so close we aren't really heading up into any mountains right now. So we don't know when our next trip will be! So we were really excited for this one!
Last year Emery was a baby for all of our trips, so we were really excited to take her on this one where she could actually run around, play, and enjoy it. We stopped and got her some 4-wheeling sunglasses and a new bucket to dig in the dirt (one of the very favorite things to do). She was pretty excited about it.
Jake took the whole day off work (YES!) so we were the first one to our spot. Which ended up being good because right after we got there a few people tried to take it. We decided to just play for a little bit before setting up our camp. Bubbles, digging, kite flying, you name it.
Then Jake decided to get the tent set up.
Emery was a big help ;)
Jake spotted a lizard and decided to try to catch it.
Emery LOVED it. She was so excited about it. This girl loves bugs and creepy crawling things. So did not get that from me. yuck.
Everyone else got there a couple hours later, got camp all set up, ate dinner, and sat around the fire. The next morning Emery was thrilled as could be to just be able to be outside all the time, and get as dirty as possible. Also to be able to wear her boots that she is obsessed with....
After breakfast Jake and I took her for her first 4-wheeler ride of the trip.
Needless to say throughout the course of the weekend she went on LOTS of trips...she instantly figured out that to ride she had to have her helmet on. So she would take her helmet and beg anyone to put it on her and take her for a ride. She is very spoiled ;)
Giving her cousin Lexi kisses. They are only 2 months apart.
They had lots of fun playing together.
Ready for the prayer. These kids were ready to eat!
It was such a fun weekend. It's so nice to just be outside in the fresh air and sunshine. I wish we could've stayed another week. But alas we had to come back to real life...oh well. Hopefully we'll be able to make time for another trip in this very crazy summer we have ahead of us!
