For Memorial Weekend last weekend Matt and I finally went on our first camping trip together!! It only took up a year and a half! We a bunch of cool camping essentials from our wedding and we always talked about going, but we just always found reasons not to. So this time we bought a tent, which was the last item we really needed of our own, and we promised to go.....and it turned out to be so much fun! We went to fossil springs for the day to play in the water and then camped in Strawberry, which are both just past Payson, Arizona. The Road we took down to the river was all dirt and bumping and winded down the side of a mountain!! At times it was scary and uncomfortable but the water at the end made it worth it!

| It was 8 or 9 feet deep in some parts and the water was super clear! |

| Whacking away! We didn't bring any fire wood...so Matt found some dead wood in the forest that did the trick! |
looks like a great start to the summer Mel!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!! All the water down here is infested with alligators... Not that that should stop us from swimming in it ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like tons of fun! Was the water cold though??
