Emily's First Camp Out

 Emily has never been tent camping. She doesn't remember our year living in campsites in our fifth wheel to travel with her dad for work so it was time to give her a trip she has been begging for. 
 Emily brought her two friends, Nadia and Sasha. We went to Crystal Hot Springs. The water is supposed to have the highest mineral content in the U.S. and maybe the world. It was so relaxing. So many temperatures to choose from. My favorite is the warm tub with the cold waterfall running on your neck. The girls had a great time.

 The water slide was a huge hit!

 Their Barbies all went camping too!
 Emily learned how to start a fire in YW. She was excited to show us how.
 After swimming for the second time, she started it again.
 We roasted hot dogs and s'mores. It was so yummy!

 Sasha getting settled in for scary stories by the fire. 

 We had a couple of girls try to scare us!

 Dennis was there behind the scenes helping us set up the tent and stuff!!! Thanks Dennis!

Dennis slept in the car, so it was just us girls in the tent. We had fun little adventures along the way. It was a lot of work for a one day camping trip, but well worth it. Emily was so happy and that is all that matters.
