A Forest School Camping Trip!

The kids and I enjoyed a quick camping trip with some of our Forest School friends. We camped near Vernon, UT in what felt like the middle of nowhere right on what used to be part of the Pony Express Trail. There's still a herd of wild mustangs in the area, and we were lucky enough to catch sight of them! 

Views from camp!

We got to visit the Dugway Geode beds and dig for geodes. Funny story, driving out there we took the wrong road and ended up driving about 5 miles on this crazy dirt road. I didn't know my minivan was an off-roading vehicle haha. But we made it. It was surprisingly easy to find geodes. The kids had a blast! 

Conrad found the muddiest puddle of water that was full of tadpoles and frogs. 

That night we enjoyed the most amazing sunset! 

The next morning we enjoyed camp breakfast, and Walter learned he ADORES watermelon. We packed up camp then headed off to a nearby reservoir. 

Can't wait for more camping adventures this summer!
