Brown Family Campout



This posting should have been done a month ago but I just never got around to it. In June The Brown side of the family had a camping trip in Williams. Our first outing was to the Grand Canyon. I was so nervous about taking the kids. Especially Bubba. He has a habit of climbing and not listening to rules. I bought him a little leash backpack to wear he actually loved it and it helped my nerves. I was so excited to take pictures there but unfortunatly I waited (so that I would have perfect ones) and it started raining like crazy. Which means I have no real pictures of the Grand Canyon.
On the other days we went to Sunset Crater, Oak Creek Canyon, and the Deer Farm. Out of all of them we had the most fun at Oak Creek Canyon. We stopped on the side of the road and hiked down a little ways to the creek to play in the water. Some of us decided to go ahead and swim. It was really deep in some spots. We guessed over 6ft. The kids loved playing in the water and hiking around. It was nice because there was nobody else around.
When Sissy was a year old we took her to the Deer Farm near Flagstaff. She screamed the entire time because the deer were chasing us. This time was much better. Nobody cried. All the cousins had fun feeding the deer and letting them follow us around. Although Bubba didn't like to feed the deer but he liked them following him.
All in all this was a great family reunion. The weather was nice and the cousins loved being with each other. We can't wait until the next one.
