I have been so slow posting about our camping trip over Memorial weekend but better late then never, right? We had a great time but the crappy weather kind of put a damper on the weekend for us; however, we made the best of it. We stayed in my brother's trailor with him and his girlfriend which was so nice but hard with a dog and an almost 2 year old. They both wanted to be in and out of the trailor but it was so wet and muddy that it was a mess. My brother's trailor is new and so we wanted to keep it as clean and neat as possible, this was almost an impossible task. But somehow we did survive. The rain made it hard to do much but in the small spurts of sunshine we took advantage of my dad's four wheelers and we did get a hike in on one of the day. Our hike was quite the adventure because we went into some slought (spelling?) canyons and were about 2 hours in and saw some black clouds coming in. We decided it would be wise to get out because we had two babies in our group both with no rain jackets or blankets (luckily Mais was back at camp with my dad). Well about halfway out it started insanely pouring on us and we were literally running to the cars. Eventually it started hailing on us and I was completely freaking out because Beckham had nothing and he was in shorts and a short sleeved shirt. Luckily these very nice hikers lended us there poncho to use to cover him. Poor guy he was crying so hard and it was such a hopeless feeling as a mother. Luckily we made it back fairly quickly and everyone was safe. The flash floods were crazy and we had to even wait them out a little because they were completely flooding the road that took us back to camp. Needless to say it was quite the adventure but we made it fun! Here are a few pics of the weekend, a couple of them are of my sister's tent that got flooded. My other sister's tent was even worse but we didn't get a pic.
