Camping in Long Valley

We had such a fun weekend. On Friday, we went camping with several families Sean met at Woodbadge. We drove up to Long Valley north of Payson and stayed overnight and went to Blue Ridge Reservoir the next day. Carly and Ridge were in heaven with so many kids to play with. Carly especially, since there were girls to play with! (For those of you who don't know, Carly is usually surrounded by boys! So this was a great treat!)

The kids stayed up until almost 11 playing flashlight tag in the dark. They made tree swings and weapons and played in the wood piles. They got good and dirty...just like a good kid should when they're camping!

Sean brought the bows and arrows he made and set up an archery range for the families to come shoot. It was so cool. The little boys and some of the girls couldn't get enough. One little boy about Ty's age told his dad that is what he wants for Christmas! So cute.

It was funny to watch their little chests puff up and the faces they would make when they were shooting. Their eyes were lit up like magic!

The families we camped with were awesome. Good company. Good weather. Beautiful mountains. Good times.
