This past weekend the kids and I joined my parents, Christopher, Kenya and her girls camping up at Dead Horse State Park in Cottonwood, Arizona. The kids had a blast exploring, metal detecting, fishing, and making campfires.

| The kids hiking one of the many trails. |
 |
| One of the few bridges left standing on the Arroyo Nature Trail after monsoon rains. |
 |
| Max and Jackson found a crawfish in one of the creeks. |
 |
| Emorsyn and Noah searching for buried treasure. |
 |
| Emorsyn and Alora made quite the bug collection while hiking. Here, they collected 11 cicada shells (only Alora would touch them). |
 |
| Jackson just HAD to swim in the creek, even thought it looked like an alligator swamp. He did find a couple of random "treasures." |
 |
| Max found a bunch of what he thought were oysters, so he tried to crack them open to find pearls. |
 |
| Emorsyn caught the first fish. |
 |
| Grandpa caught the smallest fish, |
 |
| Jackson and Max proved that you didn't need a fishing pole to catch fish. They actually caught 2 tiny bluegills in their water bottle contraption. |
 |
| Grandpa teaching Alora how to fix tangle fishing line. |
 |
| Grandpa teaching Noah how to hook a worm (Noah felt too bad for the worm to actually do it). |
