adventures in arizona: (fake) camping

i was really exciting to take beniah camping. not because i like to camp. in fact, i don't think i've really ever camped, camped, like sleeping in a tent, camped before. but i thought he would love it-and it was a way to continue to explore arizona. so we made plans..and then beniah got a cold, which turned our camping trip into a dinner by the campfire trip. (its okay though, because it would have been pretty cold too, lol)

we met dave's brother & family up at the gordon hirabayashi campground on mt. lemmon for campfire fun. the (big) boys had fun helping get the fire started and looking for "marshmallow sticks" to roast with. eli had fun eating and being cuddled. i have to admit, those hot dogs were pretty delicious and beniah had his first memorable bite of a smore-he loved every second of it (and half of dada's)!

i was really excited to check out this campsite after hearing about its history from some hiking friends of ours, but this just means we have another trip waiting for us!
