Tia's Tales

My first camping trip!

Mom and Dad took me on my first camping trip last weekend. I had such a blast! The first night wasn't so fun. It was a rare moment in Arizona. SNOW AT THE END OF MAY IN THE MOUNTAINS! I was freezing! Mom made sure I warmed up though. She bundled me in blankets and I got to sleep with my Daddy to keep me warm. When it finally stopped snowing and the sun came out we went on two long hikes in the forest. I'm not sure if there was anything that I DIDN'T explore! haha! There were so many new things to see, smell, hear and touch. Mom didn't like it though when I ate deer poop. Geez, my Mom gets too worried sometimes! One of my favorite things to do was to chase grasshoppers! Mom and Dad must have thought it was pretty funny too because they were laughing at me. I got to play with my beloved tennis ball even when we went camping. It was more fun than at home because I had to jump over stuff to find my ball. Sometimes I would act like I couldn't find it so that mom or Dad had to walk far to look for it, but I always knew where it was! hahaha! Mom and Dad tired me out SO MUCH on the trip that I slept the whole way home from Flagstaff to Phoenix. I LOVE camping and can't wait to go again!!!!
