We've decided to try to go camping more with our Johnson cousins. This year we chose to go to Mesa Verde. We stayed at Moorefield Campground and here are some of the moments we enjoyed while we were there.
Cambrie wanted to capture this beautiful sunset so she can paint it later. This was her view...
This was my view. I couldn't figure out what they were doing.
There were three trailheads that left from our campground. It meant that Jeremy and I had some excellent choices for our morning trail runs. I honestly couldn't chose a favorite if you asked me. They all ended with spectacular views from the top of mesas.
The first night my mom and Grandma Stratford set up camp in a site near the bathroom, but they wanted to be closer to us. So in the morning all of the kids helped carry their tent down the road. It's a good thing they are all about the same height.
We had lots of room to set up the hammocks. A lot of the cousins even spent a night or two sleeping in them.
Dinner time!
S'more time!
Craft time! Camille brought beads so we could all make bracelets.
Hatchet time! Time to chop wood kiddos. Let's see your skillz.
This kid looks good chilling in a camp chair.
We were lucky to learn that there was a scavenger hunt that we could do around the campground. There were thirty different crossword trivia questions we needed to find the answers to. The younger kids only needed ten, but they were happy to help the rest of us find what we needed.
As a reward, each kid got to choose something from the treasure box. McKenzie ended up with a Barbie doll. Her first ever. She spent the rest of the day accessorizing her and brought her along on our remaining adventures. She loves the feeling of the wind in her hair.
On our final night we pulled out the glowsticks and had a dance party.
