Christopher Creek

For the past five years my family has gone camping at Christopher Creek. We pack up way too much stuff, especially food and head out. This year was different though, we went in July instead of September. It was great. We weren't hot or cold. I think we need to go every year at this time. As we were driving home I asked each family member their favorite part of the trip here are their responses.
Jack: Catching crawdads, mud fight, jumping off the rocks, baseball, and climbing the mountain
Jay: Playing with Wyatt, jumping off high dive, being a raccoon, baseball
Kate: Jumping
Ryan: Swimming with the boys and Katie, playing ball
Dyan: Hanging with my family and watching my kids play and laugh, and making memories
Here are some more highlights from the trip.
-Rope swing: we found a smaller, closer water hole with a rope swing that the kids loved
-Box Canyon: instead of going to the big, closer water hole, we drove to a new one where the kids all jumped off cliffs too high for me.
-Wanting to stay longer: as we were leaving my kids said "let's stay another day."
-Catching crawdads
-Using mud as a sunblock and to become a raccoon.
-Jay hitting Wyatt with a rock, and then commenting that it was a soft rock and they were playing dodge ball.
-Ryan telling MacGregor his name was Ralphie, then Gregor saying "huhnn" with the most confused look on his face.
-Kate staying in her swimsuit the whole time and not being cold, but just right.
-Rain and hail storm: it was the biggest rain and hail storm and the loudest thunder crack I have ever heard.
-Mud slide: Watching the kids get dirty and even Loren, yes a grown man, go down it.
-Showering in the creek: if you look at the pictures the water is dirtier than the kids.
-Playing horseshoes
-Playing marine
