Kenzie had a whole week off of school so we decided to go camping. We picked a nice area just 5 miles north of Payson "Flowing Springs Campground". It took a little over an hour to get there. We were camped right next to a stream (East Verde River). The leaves were all in fall colors and it was spectacular.
Kenzie spent most of her time catching up on her sleep.
Danny and Carson enjoying some time together.
Carsons first HAPPY Meal at MacDonalds. He looks pretty happy.
We heard a bobcat howling in the night down by the stream and there were big cat prints in theside of the river in the morning. Our food was untouched in the night thank goodness. There were signs posted about "Beware of Bears". So I was kind of worried the whole time about that. In the night I heard dogs barking and cans rattling and for sure it must have been a BEAR!!
We borrowed a pop - up trailor which was very comfortable to sleep in. I served everyone breakfast in bed with hot cocoa and oatmeal. The temperature was in the low 40's at night. Danny said the car temperature was 37. But it warmed up nicely during the day in the high 70's.

Everywhere you looked it was beautiful.
Except for here. There was a fire about 2 months prior and we wanted to go hiking to some waterfalls and pools but the area was closed because of the burn. It was called Cold Springs and is suppose to have 7 pools to swim in with cliffs to jump off of and waterfalls. Maybe next year we can go. So Sad. This is Houston Mesa Road just outside of Payson.
