Our new family activity

Now that we're done with the pregnancy/baby thing, we've rediscovered what it's like to have fun, for cheap. We nearly forgot what nature was, and how peaceful and beautiful it is. Last weekend we went to the Tonto Natural Bridge and hiked down. It was cool. Almost crazy how something so beautiful is just a little over an hour away from home. Well worth the drive. Anyway, on that trip it started to pour on our hike out, an we all got soaked. It was fun though! We left there and stopped at a little creek a few miles away and had an early birthday cupcake shindig for Ben, and played in the creek. We were already wet afterall. This past weekend we went camping at Bear Canyon Lake. We had our moments when the kids just drove me crazy and I wanted to beat them, but overall it went well. The lake was awesome. Hard to access (well, for Tony and my dad with the canoe...) but well worth it, I think. I must say though, I'm really itching for a travel trailer, and soon! It would be so much easier with the kids and when we eventually take the dogs when they're older and trained. Next stop...somewhere pretty!
