Labor day weekend was a great time in the mountains of Eastern Arizona. Up in the area around Greer is by far the prettiest part of the state, too bad it is so far away! We arrived Saturday afternoon to a lot of rain and mud. It stopped just long enough to get camp set up, and then it started to rain and continued to rain all through the night. Sunday morning was more of the same, but by noon the rain went away and we started to see the sun. We took a motorcycle ride, did some fishing, and built a dam in the creek next to our camp. The kids were so excited to be in our traditional spot with their cousins. The quote of the trip was when Sophie (remember this is the first time she was invited on a camping trip) walked out of the outhouse at the campground and said, "k dad i want to go home it stinks in there and there are a lot of flies." She braved a couple more trips to the outhouse and overall I think she enjoyed her experience.
