Maybe it's the Altitude: spring camping

I just have to share this camping experience with you! In May we did some primitive camping outside Canyonlands Utah. Our timing was perfect for seeing wild flowers! Neither of us have seen so many flowers and colors in the desert, it was incredible! I have to say that I feel very lucky to have married a wonderful man who loves nature, adventures, camping, just being outdoors! And our kids love it too! Packing for all of us can be a real pain but once we are out there and everyone is having fun, its so worth the trouble.

little grasshopper I liked

So many cool places to explore from our campsite! Girls are getting a lesson on using the chimney technique to get down the rocks

at the overlook to the Colorado river

ahhhh.....the flowers

a sea of purple, white and orange flowers

hanging out in Indian Creek

The water flows into three pools that the kids could play in before it drops off into one large pool. If you are brave, you can jump into that pool but the water is cold. I preferred to stay in the warm shallow pools:)

this little guy was hanging out in the road so Jeff stopped the car, I jumped out to take a picture! I snapped this photo right as the snake decided to go up the tire into the engine area and than hid in the wheel/fender well? We drove back to our campsite with it, lol.

This is Jeff trying to get it out with a stick and the girls are having fun watching the process from the camper ! Smart girls! Smart snake! It wouldn't come out until all of us were in the camper!
