Goin' Campin' in your own backyard!

One of my most favorite summer activities to do with my family is GOIN' CAMPIN'! Last weekend, at this exact time, our family was up in the cool pines of Flagstaff Arizona. We LOVE to camp!! We love spending time together going to walks, quad rides, hikes, eating s'mores, and playing tons of games! Camping is one of those things that never gets old. We could go EVERY weekend and still want to go again. This picture was taken on one of our rides. We found an old historic house that was built sometime in the early 1900's, I think. AMAZING!! I asked my husband if we could buy it and have it as a summer cabin! I thought it would be fun to post some camping ideas for families that can't really get out of town. This goes to show that you can have a GREAT time with your family in your own backyard.I LOVE this idea from Giggles Galore to have your own Camp S'MORE!______________________And if you don't want to go to the trouble of actually roasting marshmallows, this is a great recipe for a s'more mix.  TSJPhotography calls this Happy Camper Crunch!___________________I adore these teepee tents from Kara's Party Ideas.
