Camping at Mt. Charleston

The kids have been begging to camp all summer and there has always been other stuff going on but since this was Derek's last free weekend for a while we decided it was now or never. We headed up to Mt. Charleston Friday morning. It's neat how just a short distance out of the desert you can drive up to a place with pine trees. We found a great little campsite and set up camp, had a yummy steak dinner, roasted marshmallows for smores and then we watched a movie in the tent. Emma even lost a tooth! The next morning we had breakfast, took a nap, had lunch, packed up and came home. It was nice to have nothing to do for a day. We had a great time. But now that we are home, reality has sunk back in so I need to get working on writing a paper and studying for a final.

The kids eating their "Tahoe Sandwiches" which got their name because we used to take them to Lake Tahoe all of the time.

We couldn't keep Ava's shoes on. It's a miracle her feet are intact.

Since it was Ginger's 2nd birthday we let her have a steak bone

Since I took a ton of pictures and couldn't decide which ones to put in, I made a web album if you want to see them all click here
