Weekend in the Mountains

Hiking with the Quirky Kids

Over the weekend, I took my three little ones up to the mountains for an annual camping trip with our friends. It was wonderful to get away from the desert heat! The kids enjoyed being outside and playing with their friends.

It was a bit of a long weekend for me flying solo with the three little ones. I think I would have had a great time if the campground had not lost water pressure, and therefore the showers and flush toilets, which added to the challenge of juggling the kids. Thankfully, we still had water from the spigots and vault toilets! Saturday night was the longest of all, when a thunderstorm rolled in shortly before midnight. Thankfully the kids slept through the downpour, we did not get wet and I eventually fell asleep.

The important thing is that the kids got to go on the trip they've been anticipating for weeks and we went on a couple of short walks that temporarily satisfied their desire to go hiking. They enjoyed themselves enough to already be asking when we can go again! Next time, we plan to take everyone.
