A Big Family Campout

Dave says: As the Welsh family has gotten bigger, it's not often that the whole crew can get together for a weekend camping trip. However, over Easter weekend that's just what we did with a camping trip to Camp Verde. My parents and grandparents stayed in a cabin at the RV resort while Christine and I brought our trailers. Some of the highlights from the campground include swimming, evening campfires, ping pong, mini golf, and a walk along the river. On Easter morning my mom hid some eggs for the kids and gave Skye an Easter basket. The trailer was a big success once again and we feel like we're getting things dialed in a little more with every trip.

On Saturday, Alisha got us permits to hike into Fossil Springs. It's a long dirt road to get to the hike but in Arizona it's pretty special to find a big stream with blue water, tons of swimming holes, and a big waterfall at the end of the hike. The water was a little chilly still but everyone got in for some wading. One interesting feature of the waterfall is that you can maneuver around behind the falls into a little cave.
