Camping | Navajo Lake


This summer we were able to take a fun camping trip with the rest of the Erickson Clan. It was our first ever successful camping trip as a family. And by successful, I mean that nobody threw up in my hair and we made it without going home the first night. 

Navajo Lake was beautiful, although not how I remember it. The water level was CRAZY low. So it was more like Navajo puddle. 

Other campers brought huge kites and were flying them and the kids were so excited!

Grant has such a kind, big heart. We had walked down to the lakeside and Via wanted to go back to camp but she was tired and didn't want to walk anymore- being 8 months pregnant, I couldn't carry her. Grant quickly volunteered to give her a piggyback back to camp. I love this little man.

 We love camping and I hope we get to do it again soon!
