We hooked up with the Schaefers as usual and Jacopone once again for our annual overnight camping trip east of Payson. There was no road construction, so we found a good spot on the south side of 260. It was Karin's first time camping. I kept telling her it'll be cold, cramped, and loud (with kids) at night, so I think she was as prepared as she could've been. I planned to sleep outside the tent but ended up hauling my bag in there. All seven of us plus The Dog squeezed in; it actually wasn't too bad. Booch managed to squirm way outside his blanket but didn't get too cold. Kevin, Jacopone, and I made a little lean-to. We did a little shooting. We had a nice hike and a good religious conversation (with some drinks) over the fire at night. Poor Booch had to borrow his sisters' old winter PJs.






Wow I have never been camping with so many kids! I expect that they would have all had a great time and would have enjoyed having so much space to run free. It looks like you were camping in a lovely spot and that Karin had a good first camping trip.
