Fall Camping Trip

This week we went for a nice little family camping trip. Our campground was in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ which is just up the hill from Sedona. The fall colors were spectacular and we had a lot of fun hanging out with our little family. Jake rode his little bike all over the place and kept telling us he was "going mountain biking" like Daddy. Max enjoyed the change of scenery and was pretty happy when we weren't trying to get him to take a nap. This was the first camping trip for Max!

The first night we all slept in the same sleeping bag to keep warm. We had a propane leak in the trailer and weren't able to repair it until the next morning (no heater, no cooking). That meant a "less than great" night of sleep the first night and a trip to a cute little tourist trap diner for dinner (The Red Planet Cafe) and another trip to McDonald's for breakfast in the morning. The second night was much more  comfortable and we got to have a more "normal" camping experience - not driving into town for food!

Here are a lot of pictures of our trip ... they were mostly taken in our campground - so pretty!!

One more picture ...

So, I had to post this picture because of the face Max is making .. this is what we call his "Rahhhhhhhrrrrr" face. Especially funny because he has two bottom teeth that show really well when he does this.
