Last Thursday and Friday the kids had no school. So we went camping with our AZ cousins to Dead Horse Ranch State Park. It's in Cottonwood AZ. We went with hopes of lots of fun and cooler weather. Well, the weather was a little cooler but much more windy. Friday night - the wind blew so hard the it blew in the sides of our tent many times and even rolled it with me and Max and Maya inside. I was up from 1am onward sitting up and hoping that I could keep the tent from falling on us again. As I was sitting there, I was thinking to myself, it is going to be a VERY long time before I go camping again.
Max and Maya were quite the troopers - only once at 1:30am did max ask if we could go home. I told him that we had to wait until there was light outside.
Madi slept in another tent with 2 cousins and they slept thru the whole thing. As soon as it was light outside, I put Maya and Max in the car and started taking down the tent. Once the tent was down the wind did die down some. My sisters and I have planned our next camping trip - in condos!!!
Even with all of the wind, the kids had a great time riding bikes and scooters and playing in the lake! They didn't complain once. It was just the adults who were tired of the wind.
We were excited to be heading home in a car with no wind.
Bryant was home studying while we went camping but he was great and got the oil changed in the car and put in the winter lawn.
Sorry no pictures - it was too windy for anything.
