The weekend before school started we wanted to camp/play just a little more. We had a party to attend in Pine Valley so we just threw sleeping bags and a tarp in the back of the truck and took off. The kids had never slept under the stars and we wanted to fix that lapse in parenting. After the party we ventured off the road a ways and hiked down a ledge to get to a stream. There was a bank wide enough to set up. The sound of running water was awesome. The kids were a little nervous and fought over who had to sleep on the outside edges (no one anted to be eaten by a cougar) but once everyone was settled the stars were amazing. We saw multiple shooting stars and before long the kids were all sound asleep. It was super awesome and memory making. When the kids started school two days later two of them used it as the "what they did last summer" memory.
At the top of the ledge before hiking down to the stream.
Everyone tucked in safe and sound.
Everyone slept great!
Such a beautiful place for a sleep under the stars.
