We decided to go on an overnight camping trip just the two of us. We have not really made any time in a couple of months to do anything that we like to really do just by ourselves! So we took off on friday for the cool pines around Payson. We decided to scout out a new spot that we have not been to as a married couple. We hit up the Houston Mesa area, as we were driving to find a campground, we came across a section of the forest that had been in a forest fire earlier this summer. As we were passing this section, your eyes are not prepared for the sadness that you see for all of the beautiful nature that had gone through such a devistation. I felt like crying, this section must have been so beautiful, but all I saw was Black, Charred masses that were trees at one point in time. Seeing that makes me so mad for all of those individuals that are not responsible for their fires when they camp! As Scott and I talked about this devistation, he said that at least one good thing would come from this in a couple of years, there would be a whole new section that would be beautiful with life, and we could see the progress if we wanted to, I think we just might do that!!!
We found our camp ground and set if up, we were in a very quiet section. Hardly anyone came through there. We made a new concoction in our dutch oven that we will be making from now on. I just love it when we experiment with foods in our dutch ovens! It was a nice day, but it got a little cold at night, I slept in the SUV because it would be warmer in there, and Scott was not as cold as me. In the morning upon waking up, Scott proceeded to tell me that he was woken up around 4 am by a bunch of Turkey gobbling through the camp with their babies. I told him that I heard nothing, not even the crickets. I love my SUV!! We packed up our stuff and headed out to go home. There was a little craft fair in Payson, we stopped there and got the best Honey in the world, harvested that day! It is so YUMMY! We made it back home in enough time to go on a mini date, we played bowling. And had a lot of fun doing it!! Until our next little trip!
(our little camp ground, just the bare necessities for it: a tent, sleeping bags, chairs, table, dutch oven, water, and food)

I am glad to hear that you guys had fun and no one froze to death. I am sure it was chiily though. I cann ot wait for the next time we go camping- will it be soon??? lol
good luck with softball this week. We will come and watch for a little bit, but I have a presidency meeting at 730, so maybe just the first game. We will have to see.
YAY CAMPING!!!! :)
ok. my first game is at 630. It's kind of funny listening to people tell me I'm crazy for sliding head first. I'm starting to draw crowds when my team playes. Everyone is interested in when I'll slide next.
We plan on being there, hopefully for the whole first game. May you win this time!
