Traditions

It is a Whipple family tradition to go camping over Easter/Spring Break. I thought it would be fun to try out camping around Las Vegas for many reasons 1- There is not two feet of snow here, 2- We would like to get to know the area a little more so we can start camping with our little family, and 3- The temperatures were in the 70s. A couple of weeks before Easter weekend, my parents came to visit and checked out one of the site's that was recommended to us (thanks Shelley). We decided on Logandale Trails Systems and it was AWESOME!!

My sister Kenzie was the first to arrive and snagged us a perfect camping site. There were a lot of people but we didn't let that stop us. Our adventures in pics....

Our campsite...like camping at Lake Powell without the water! Grandpa & Grandma Whipple enjoying some awesome food.






Shad showing off the dutch oven breakfast...my first time and it was yummo! I love this picture of Kyson...he couldn't wait to go camping and he had a blast! He pretty much rode the motorcycles all day long. He even fell asleep on the gas tank while on one trip and my dad had to balance him with his knees. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of that. LOL!




Typical picture of Kenz...gotta love sisters!




Kenz and Dust...they made dutch oven pizza and bread sticks. It was so fantastic!








Redneck bath time!






Broxy & Mommy!







We colored Easter Eggs and this one is of course for Elder Whipple...he was the best camper in our family so we can't wait to show him our new camping spot! We then had an Easter Egg run down a tall sand dunes hill.






Video of what occurred after the egg roll and watch Kys thumbs up...hilarious!...(ignore my loud voice)




How awesome is this...the Easter Bunny found us camping...which was the first for all of us to actually see the Easter Bunny in person. Can you tell Ky was just a little nervous? LOL!





We all got into the hunt for the lucky egg...filled with a whopping $10. Sadly, Kenzie found the egg...dang!







It's so hard to say goodbye!!





XOXO Melanie
