Camping!

We just got back from camping!!! There is NOTHING more relaxing!

We left Saturday afternoon and headed to the Zuni Mountains, near Grants. We met up with our friends Jeremy and Marcie, who know the area really well, but they only stayed one night and we stayed two.

Jeremy knows the mountains like the back of his hand and he showed us all kinds of neat things. He brought us to a natural spring and a waterfall! He showed us where there were Gooseberry bushes, wild strawberry, wild raspberries and oregano! Pretty neat stuff.

I was a little nervous because there are a lot of bears in the Zuni Mts... but thankfully we didn't see any. :) We saw several deer and lots of cows!

One funny story, not even 5 minutes at our campsite, Bailey found a VERY fresh cow pie and decided she would roll in it.... I caught her in the act, but it was too late... she was already brown and green. lol It was pretty funny. Needless to say, not 10 minutes into camping Bailey had a bath!

We had a really good time and a much needed break. Now back to reality. boo....
