The kids have been asking to go camping for so long and we finally found a weekend that worked for us. The four of us and a few of our friends - Denise & Burpee, John and his son Andrew - went to the Mogollon Rim to camp for a couple of nights. That is our favorite place to camp because its not an actual campground so you don't have other campers right next to you. It is off the highway at mile marker 277. We take the dirt road back and cross our fingers that we find a place right on the rim so we have a view to enjoy. Unfortunately this year we had a late start and did not get a premier site right on the rim but we still had a lot of fun. It was wonderful to get out of the hot weather. It was 80s during the day and down to the 50s in the evening....perfect. Even a little cold!
Home Sweet home for the weekend
We set up 2 big cots in the tent for kids. We didn't have enough room for our air mattress so we slept in the back of the pickup with our pop up over us as a tent.
This is my favorite...Pooper/Shower. Yes, you can really take a hot shower in there as well.
There was a festival in the small town of Pine just south of the rim so we checked it out Saturday. They had a bunch of booths selling all sorts of things, food, and a kids bouncy area.
Aidan loved it. He did all sorts of back flips.
So did Ava. Although it was a little tougher for her to get around, she still pulled it off!
They also had fun in the hammock. I can't even count how many times Ava fell off that thing.

We had a great time and look forward to going next time!
