Camping

We went camping with Chris' parents and sister last weekend and we had a great time. We were up in the Christopher Creek area, and we spent Saturday by Tonto Creek, at the Fish Hatchery, and the "Catch-A-Fish." We had a great time, especially the kids.



Everybody's favorite part was rolling in the dirt. I think they look like Mary Poppins after she powders her nose in soot.






With the amount of time we spent by the creek it's miraculous no one fell in. Clare tried pretty hard though.


The price of the Catch-A-Fish seemed pretty innocent; only $1 to rent a pole and get some bait. But the problem is when you catch a fish they charge you by the inch: 70 cents an inch to be exact. And you have too keep what you catch, no releasing. The teeny fish Molly caught cost us $10! But Kathy cooked them up that night and they tasted awesome, so maybe it was worth it.



Claire and Molly both found a new love: Squeezits.

Fun! That's awesome that they got to roll around in the dirt ;) $10 for 7 inches? That's ridiculous!

I'm with Sarah, it makes me want to go camping!

What a nice mom you are to let them play in the dirt. I don't care much for dirt. The creek looks more enticing.It looks like you had a great time though.
