Justin and I went on a hike that turned out to be grueling, but well worth it. We didn't have a trail map so we had no idea how far we had to go to get to anything. Turns out we hiked an hour and 20 minutes up a rocky trail without finding anything. Enjoyed our PB2 sandwiches and some Cheetos and came back down. Great time together!
My parents have been refurbishing this 12 ft trailer and had it ready enough for us to be the first to use it. It has a full size bed, sink, icebox, 3 burners and a stove, closet, some cabinets and a booth with two benches. Yes, we trekked to the outhouse when needed and bummed my parents' shower! Time ran out on getting the outside fixed and painted, but I can't wait to see it completely done. Most of the work was due to the trailer being shot up by someone before they acquired it.
Eli is sporting his camo with an inchworm that says "Inching Along". Well, he's not quite yet, but he made the most of his trip! He loves the outdoors and was fascinated with the campfires. Since we were a little cramped for space in our trailer, he slept in his pack 'n play in my parents trailer. We were definitely on vacation!
Eli kicked back in Papa's chair. He was content to just chill and watch Justin or Kelly chop wood, watch the campfire, or Jared and Tyler playing baseball.
***Thanks to Amy for the winter clothes for Eli! What a blessing!
We were camping in the Agua Piedra campground between Tres Ritos and Sipapu, NM. There were no electricity or water hookups so we haul water and run a generator when necessary. Otherwise, we rely on sunlight, flashlights and propane. Ah, the time went so fast, even though it was 8 days. Pan fried potatoes, s'mores, Justin's dutch oven peach cobbler, grilled corn on the cob, and so much more wonderful stuff to eat. We'll be going back next August if anyone wants to come!
Our group included Justin, Eli and myself, my parents, my brother Kelly and his wife Teresa and two boys Jared and Tyler, along with a family that Kelly knows from Oklahoma, and a two day visit from Bill and Wanda who are long time friends of our family from NM.
Great times, and I can't wait to do it all over again!

You guys are so great and precious. I want to come. What fun. And it looks like it was cool there.
I love you and your family and the things you do together. Its inspiring! Great pics!
I'm sure we would love to go, but I'm not sure I can handle 8 days of that! Sounds like you had lots of fun! Hope to see you soon!
Glad you had fun! Eli is a natural outdoorsman, looks like!
CUTE pictures of Eli!
Sounds like you guys had a good time...I could do this kind of camping (my requirements are a shower and a bit of electricity once in a while).
Eli has grown so much since we have seen pictures of him! He has so much cute hair!!! I am so impressed that he was content to sit in that chair! He needs to send Jackson and few tips on sitting still and savoring what goes on around him! Glad you had fun together!
A camping trip sounds like a LOT of fun!
Of course, I remember walking with Justin for SEVERAL hours and ending up no where. :)
Glad y'all had such a fun time with the family.
Hey guys - sounds like a great trip!
I'm guessing PB2 sandwiches are Peanut Butter and Banana...
what a great trip! Ahhh, the freshness of the outdoors :) Glad to hear about the fun times...the good food...and a grueling hike!
