Valley of Fire

Camping! We love camping and this past weekend we got invited to go camping with some of our friends. We went to the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada and it was an awesome place to camp! Hope you enjoy the pictures and look forward to lots more adventure pictures through out the summer cause we are going to have some fun! Hopefully :)
Braeden, Kyle, Nate, Brant and Alicia


Playing some wiffle ball



Rachel and I getting smoked out by the fire.. the wind was blowing so hard while we were there! We all thought our tents were going to blow away. It was a rough night sleeping with all that wind!

There were petroglyphs everywhere and the park says that they are over 3000 years old. They were way cool and I wish I knew what they meant!


Nate found this hole and climbed in it and it was huge inside. Those are Braeden's feet.. he climbed in an odd way and didn't want to continue in, haha it looked like the rock ate him up. The next picture there were four people in the hole you can only see Nate, Brant (through the crack) and Braed's feet.

We all went rapelling before we headed back home. Everyone had a great time especially me, Rachel, and Melanie. We were sitting on this hill watching everyone and each of us had a bag of chips. It was like we were watching a movie and cheering everyone on haha it was fun. I wish I could have repelled... the last time we went rapelling was RIGHT before my wrists got bad so I didn't want to chance it because my wrists are better now. Maybe someday I can do it again! (click image to enlarge)

Left to right.. Nate & Rachel, Brant and Alicia, Braed & me, Jared (his wife Melanie left the night before.. wish she could have stayed!) and Melanie & Kyle. Thanks so much for inviting us Nate & Rachel and especially Jared! We are going to have to go again sometime this summer when it's a little warmer!

Looks like a blast! I think the last time that I camped was for Young Women's. Maybe it's time to try it again.

Alisha I have waiting patiently for more recipes, haha. But I bet you are really busy with school. Hope everything is going great! I will continue to be patient and just hope that more recipes come soon, I really should try to be more understanding that most people's lives aren't as boring as mine, haha.

Kyle said I am supposed to tell Braeden to not be too jealous of the pie because you probably make better food than me most of the time. haha. Once I informed him that it was sort of rude comment he explained that he meant he bets you make lots of new types of food, not so much like me. But I am trying. Miss you guys!

Hey I'll e-mail our address to Alisha's e-mail don't want that just floating around in case some crazy wants to come take our baby. And man you really really need to cook I think I need your address so I can mail you some real food, but honestly Ky would be exactly the same way except his down fall is frozen pizza. And we definitely need to get down there this summer that is one of our goals.

We really are trying to plan and come down there soon, because we really think we are heading out to PA this Fall so we need to get down to see my grandparents and you guys. How is school? Are you super busy? You really had better be busy if you aren't updating your blog often, haha jk.
