Payson Lakes Camping

We finally got to go overnight camping this summer! We had a family group site up at Payson Lakes. Derek couldn't come up until after his class late that night, so it was nice to have lots of cousins and family around to help keep Sofie busy.

Completely soaked in the ice cold spigot water! They both were violently shaking by the time the sun started to go down, but it sure kept them busy for hours! Good thing I brought lots of extra clothes.

No more pictures until the next day...because it POURED for quite some time, more than once. Our tent was flooded (including my clothes which you see drying here). Fortunately, my parents were willing to give up their place in the nice, warm, dry trailer and they slept in their car. Sofie slept...most of the night.

Exploring. (Yes, that mommy is sportin' a bit of a belly already.)

This fire ring was perfect for toddlers. HUGE concrete barrier to keep them out of harms way.
Roasting Marshmallows. The first attempt failed the night before due to torrential downpour.

Experiencing the amazing S'more! She mostly just poked her finger in the goo, then licked it off or wiped it on her shirt, but she didn't put it down for about 45 minutes!

When the rain clouds finally went away we headed to the lake. Freezing cold water, and lots of wind, but Sofie loved it.

Tons of fun. Tons of family. Let's do it again next year!
