Desert Camping

We had the chance this past Friday and Saturday to go camping! Uncle James came up from Tucson and brought his guns, Rulin loaded up the quads and our guns, and we headed out! We found a place by Sycamore Creek... The desert was not our first pick for our outing. However, cost of gas and time restrictions prevented us from going further north into the beautiful pines. Although it wasn't our "ideal" spot, it was fantastic!! The desert (with my phobia of poisonous creepy-crawlies) proved to be an absolutely wonderful place to be! The weather was PERFECT!! 71 degrees was the low overnight and into the high 80's during the day with a perfectly wonderful breeze blowing all day long! The guys had fun shooting the milk jug and soda bottle targets that we brought and we all enjoyed riding the quads through the dry creek bed and up the desert hills. (If you get a chance, ask Jacob or Rulin what it feels like to roll a four-wheeler -- they are both lucky they weren't hurt worse) Kenzee and I had fun watching ants!! Kenzee dropped some Goldfish on the ground, so we smashed them up into smaller pieces for the ants and watched them pack the pieces off to their ant hill. It was hours of entertainment, plus we felt good about ourselves for helping the ants get their winter food supply!!! My only regret: I managed to go off WITHOUT my camera!! How did THAT happen?? So, we have no pictures to share, and only our own memories to recall our fun adventure!!
