Fourth of July Camping Trip

We headed up north to our favorite camping spot at Hutch Mountain. It was so cool up there... was hoping for some rain but that didn't happen :( It was still great just getting out of the 110 + heat down in Phoenix. We always have so much fun with our friends the Lees. The girls just keep themselves entertained all day long. The only down fall to the trip were NO FIRES! The girls were bummed without sitting around the campfire playing all the campfire games and the smores. They seemed to keep themselves busy at night playing other games and going on night ranger rides with the dads... too cold for me. On Sunday we went into Mormon Lake to watch their annual 4th of July Parade... we have been camping at Hutch for over 15 years and had no idea they had a parade and fireworks every year. No fireworks this year on the account of the fires in Flagstaff 8( Monday we played washer tournaments and I think we did this 3 times.. picking new partners each time. It is always a fun time and the kids are so competitive hoping they get a good partner 8). We left after dinner Monday night... although we did have a blowout on the trailer... luckily we were only about 10 miles from home and it didn't cause any damage, except replacing the shredded tire.
