Christopher Creek Camping

We decided we needed to go camping before Ryan and his wife Trisha move to Colorado. Amazingly, it's still too cold in the mountains but we toughed it out. We went camping just for one night on April 17-18. We had planned on going Thursday night too, but the weather forecast was 29 degrees for Payson. Brrrrrr. Ryan, Trisha, Travis and Cory were our superstars who still went Thurs. night. The rest of us sane people drove up Friday afternoon. We enjoyed the hot fire, hotdogs, hammering (the little boys loved helping take apart the pallets for firewood, kept them busy most of the day) hammock, horseshoes, and other "h" words too I'm sure. My mom, Travis, Abby and I went exploring and ended up wading and then finally swimming in the freezing pools that were down the creek a ways. It was very cold.

Carson and Uncle Nate keep the fire going!

On our drive home, not even 10 minutes down the highway we blew a tire. Fortunately, my mom and brother were still behind us, so we were able to flag them down and throw our stuff into their cars. Guess we should've listened to the car guy the week earlier who said we needed 4 new tires! thanks to Ryan for taking care of that for us while we left for Oregon the next day. He's our lifesaver.
