Camping at Red Cliffs Memorial Weekend

Aunt Ashley, Uncle Cortney and Hallie came to Red Cliffs and joined us for dinner and a hike to the Anasazi ruins on Thursday.
These are some of the ruins they kept corn in.

There are Cortney, Ashley, Hallie, Kari and Kya on the trail.
Karla, Sam, Nicole, Danielle and Clark came and slept over . We made tin foil dinners in the fire.
Kiera LOVED getting as dirty as she possibly could. She would put dirt in her hat and stick it on her head.
There are the coals and the tin foil dinners. Yum!
We put Kolden in the hammock and then we would weave a rope through the top so he wouldn't fall out. Sometimes he looked like a bird in a cage. It kept him safe, comfortable and away from the fire ants.
Kade, Kari and myself went on a hike to find the waterfall. It was so cool that we decided to bring everyone with us and go back.
But first, Grandma Beth came up and we made homemade ice cream. She also brought homemade fudge sauce. We love fudge sause.
Nicole, Danielle and Clark playing games at camp.
Karla and Sam on their love sack taking an afternoon nap.
We explored the creek to play and keep cool in the water. Kolden loved the rock and even ate some along with the algae.
Kade offered the girls a dollar if they would lie down in the water. Kari jumped at the offer and got all wet.
Grandpa Brian, Grandma Creta, Uncle Pete, Aunt Brittany, Halley, Daycee, Ben and Cloee came up to have dutch oven potatoes and cherry-pecan-coconut cobbler.

The kids were climbing on the red hill.




Kolden shared his hammock with Grandma Creta.

Everyone came on a hike with us to the waterfall. (Yes - Kari is wearing Kiera's clothes and they are too small.)
All the kids (and Pete) in a little cave on the trail to the waterfall.
We found the water..

...and because it was starting to get dark we just stopped at the first little waterfall and the kids were able to get a little wet.Kolden and I found a seat in the red rock.

Time to head back to camp.
Before we ended the weekend we had to squeeze in a bike ride. Kade had Kya on the tandem bike behind him.
Grandma Creta tried out my bike with the bike trailer behind her. You can see Kolden trying to stick his head out of it.
We had a great camping trip and we loved having family come up and join us for hikes and yummy food. We love camping and Red Cliffs is a favorite. (It is closed unfortunately for renovations to the road until August this year.)
