Crystal Hot Springs- 1st camping trip

We took our new trailer out on the very first voyage. Brett was so excited he had a bad day at school Friday. Every time he got in trouble he said "it doesnt matter, I am going camping". Luckily our first trip was with friends. I found we forgot a ton of stuff and it was sure nice to have someone to borrow from. Ryan and Missy are prepared for anything.

Crystal Hot Springs was a fun place for the kids. Its kind of a dump. It close to home though so it was a good trial run. The first night we were there, it was a father and son boy scout camp out and insanely crowded. Brett, Dax and Tyson played games and colored and we had lots of other kids join us at the table.

The next day, Ryan and Justin took off to help a friend in bear lake while the rest of us went swimming in the hot springs. There was a water slide there that we went down 4 times. Brett was so excited to go but it lets out into a very cold pool. He did not like that. On the way down he was saying whahoo and then as soon as we hit the water he cried. I had to force him to go the last time so we could get a photo. Now that we are home I asked what he favorite part of camping was.... "by far the water slide".

Brett, Tyson and Daxton played so well together. They played games. Feed the ducks/geese, watched people crawdad fish. etc. At night Brett was so excited that is in his top bunk he could watch TV right in front of his face.

Cody turned out to be a great camping dog. He didnt bark at all, he was good with all the little boys who came to meet him. He was great.

Overall it was a great trip.

Thanks to the Murdocks for going with us and making it a blast!
