For my Dad's 60th birthday we (my sisters) took him camping. I am not a camper but I love my Dad and knew that this was the perfect gift for him. So I cowboyed up and took one for the team.
We decided to go to Escalante. It is about 4 1/2 hours from us. It was a great place, with a lot to see and do.
The first night there is rained and rained. We got soaked.
(Did I mention I hate camping.) The next morning we went into town to search for more tarps. The men made up this contraption, it worked great as long as we didn't plan on ever moving our cars.
We hiked to Calf Creek Falls. It was a 6 mile hike and Jon carried Bennett about 98% of the way.
SUPER DAD!
Bennett and Grandpa, I love this picture.
Cute Cousins
Indian Ruins on the hike.
Some cute Bennetts.
On Sunday we went to church. On our way out there was a family with a little baby pet raccoon. They were nice enough to let our kids torture it for awhile. Bennett was ECSTATIC!
Our gorgeous ride home.
Even I am willing to admit that we had a really fun time. Bennett did so well I may just take him again before the summer is over.

A pet raccoon? What? I love the picture of Bennett with your Dad, that's so sweet. And, I love the one with Bennett in the little camping chair, crossing his legs. Good for you for being a trooper and going camping with the fam!
MarKey, Bennett is seriously so cute. Ours boys have got to meet because we have the cutest boys in the world.
Looks like you guys had fun and you got some great pictures. I'm glad your husband's father is going to be o.k. that sounds like it was quite a scary ordeal for you guys.
I love the pictures, especially the one with grandpa. Bennett is a very cute little boy. I will be anxious to see him.
he is so cute i can't even stand it. Escalante and Calf Creek is are some of my favorite places. Isn't it pretty there... p.s. when are we going to hang out?
I haven't done camping with the kids yet. SO MUCH WORK is all I think about. I'm going to be a poopy mom. Way to go Markey!
