Camping in Idyllwild

Kenneth's schedule at work is awesome! He got to pick him own schedule, so we opted on a 9-40 schedule so that every other week Kenneth has a Friday off. His schedule went through last weekend, so we took advantage of the 3 day weekend to go camping! (For the record, we are ashamed to say that this is Danny's first time camping - we realize it is shamefully overdue.)

Ever since getting to Utah, I have noticed how much I miss the mountains (instead of hills) and trees. Kenneth said we should go camping up in the small town of Idyllwild to remind me of the mountains. It was a great idea!! It was absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time camping and rock-climbing (naturally).

This is where we climbed - Suicide Rock

It was a steep 30 minute hike, which wouldn't be bad if I didn't have to carry Danny & a backpack, and if Kenneth didn't have to carry a 70-80lbs pack consisting of climbing gear and Danny's pack-n-play. Let's just say that we definitely got a good workout doing the hike 4 times in 2 days!

Climbing slab - I LOVE slab!

Danny got his own personal suite while camping

I love this picture of Danny playing under the picnic table

...and playing the drums on the picnic table

Danny had a blast playing in the dirt - as is evident by his dirt-covered face

The conclude, this is the next rock formation we need to climb in Idyllwild. This is the formation Tahquitz - it looks incredible!
