1st Campout of 2013

 We picked up Aaron early from work on Friday and headed to southern Utah for a night in the desert. We got a flat tire in the van on the way down, so we pulled in well after dark. Our friends helped us set up our tent. The kids enjoyed running around with little finger lights; I think they were just happy to finally be out of the car.
 Quinn and Emmy had a great time hunting for cool rocks. Then they spent all morning sorting them into groups based on color and size.
 The spare tire got us back to Green River where we stopped and got the other tire fixed. We will be buying new tires soon. The blow out was bad and our tires are not looking great.
 I am so amazed that such beautiful flowers can grow in such a difficult place. Nature is amazing.
 Eve & Jean chilling.
 Emmy's all ready to head down to the river.
 Hooray for mud. Emmy spent the entire day exploring the muddy river. She loved every minute. She only ventured out of the water a few times to get something to eat.
