Our family and my 5 brothers, and their families all went camping for 4 days and 3 nights. It was so much fun. We were the last ones to leave because Enrique had to work a full day, everyone else took off in the morning. It was about a 4 1/2 drive to Goblin Valley State Park. We got there are night, so we couldn't really appreciate the splendor of our surroundings. We sat by the fire after the kids went to bed, as we were all chatting, we saw so many shooting stars. It was pretty romantic if you ask me- hehehe.
The sun greeted us beautifully as you can tell. Then we got to see what was around us. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The kids were instantly climbing up and sliding down the mountains, playing in the sand, running around where ever they wanted. It was great. They didn't really want to eat or get ready, they (all 9) wanted to play and play and play.
