Camping in the Jemez

We decided to have a fun little camping trip just us up to the Jemez at a spot we have been a couple other times. The boys and I picked Stan up from work and headed out about three. It was a beautiful evening when we got there and we set up camp right before dinner.

I got a new sleeping bag for my birthday and Scott REALLY wanted a sleeping bag for this camping trip. He was worried about not having one so we borrowed one from a family in the ward. He chose to use their Little Mermaid one and couldn't wait to try it out. I made him wait until after dinner and then he just laid in there for at least a half hour.

Which kid is this??

It's Sterling! He is growing up so much and looks like Scott with Scott's clothes on :)

Stan went on a walk and left a little family band radio for Scott to talk with him on. Scott LOVED it.

We took Twizzlers on our camp out and Sterling loved them. I found this one in the tent and he had a funny way to nibble it.

Never seen someone eat it in half this way.

The boys and I went to find Stan.

He loves the radios as much as Scott and Stan do.

The boys by the fire

Sterling was so mesmerized by the fire. He would hold his hand up to feel the warmth.

Scott also loved the fire and looked so grown up in his beanie sitting by the fire.

Despite the a small crying fit in the middle of the night by Sterling, we slept really well...minus the fact that our air mattress decided to quit on us in the middle of the night! We'll get the hang of this sleeping while camping thing soon...

Saturday morning, Scott wanted Stan to take him on a walk so bad, so Stan sweetly obliged.

Here are a few sights they saw:

Stan went up this little rock mound and Scott waited for him on this log. Such a cute kid.

Sterling climbed up into the chair to just chill.

These two boys played and played all morning. Sterling stumbled lots still learning to walk really steady but he is keeping up with Scott pretty well.

We got all packed up and ready to roll.

We went for a little drive before heading home. Such a beautiful forest we have here in New Mexico! We had a great time :)
