Camping in Flagstaff

We knew the temperatures in Phoenix were going to be over 110 this past weekend, so Nate got a crazy idea to pack up and go camping. We had never done this with our kids, so I had no idea what to expect. We found a site in Flagstaff right outside of town, and it was perfect. It stormed for about an hour or two when we first arrived, but being forced to be in a tent with nothing to do but color, talk and read was actually pretty fun. The girls thought it was amazing to hear the rain pouring on our tent and the thunder roaring overhead. The next morning we drove to very small town called Mormon Lake, no lake, but a cute restaurant and pony rides for the kids. It was a great mini staycation, and we all can't wait to do it again!
