Camping on the Rim Arizona part two

Good Morning

Day Two
I was just sitting Dove down to scold her for Manipulating her brother into getting into trouble...
When a hummingbird came right up to us sitting face to face it came right up to our faces.
We just looked at each other and then It left.
We just looked at each other...
Then I said well I guess I do not need to say anything else...
"I understand Momma" she said.
She did not act up again all weekend.
The hummingbird then flew over to Steve and all but lit on the top of his head. He said he felt the breeze of it's little wings on his head.


One of our little darlings did not make it here in the night.
No Biggy it happens to everyone...
This is the tour of the camper when it is in action.
Shower and cameoed has a privacy curtain.
A little pocket hanger holds all toiletry's



Kids side and dining room.
There is a gas heater under the right side bench

Inside Kitchen
There is a drawer and a refrigerator cooled by gas
It has a hot water heater as well.

our side and built in dresser

activities after dark

Outside Kitchen
A Gas stove hooks up to the outside
There is an awning overhead

Note the footstool a real knee saver.



The kids climb the tree just outside the kitchen window.
Several times having to be stopped from climbing a bit too high, like 15 ft!

Blueberry griddle cakes, butter and syrup
milk for the and coffee for us.

As I did the clean up the kids played in the meadow.

They had the binoculars, it was too cute!
This is the perfect moment!

We all went for a hike down the meadow. It extended a couple of miles we were at the far end of it in a bit of an alcove.

The tree O death!
The kids and the Daddy man hiked it the day before...


The wild grasses and flowers were so pretty

There was a creek down the center of the meadow.


The family except me climbed up a hill.
My knee was already a bit unhappy.
Talk about a mood spoiler!
I get so upset that my knee will not let me do what I want to do!



Heading back to camp, it is just so beautiful!
I was sitting at camp and looked up the hill and saw a bright flash of red...
Courteous I sent Steve to investigate it.
It was not there the day before.








This sweet child NEVER STOPS!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the tall, tall tree's! the scenery was breath taking, and the hummingbird thing...well, it's letting you know he LOVES your company, what a neat thing,and your sweet little man, well, it doesn't stop, it just slows down as they get older. What cute pictures of them, it's sweet to see a brother & Sister getting along, mine use to fight, o my goodness, I'd want to pull my hair, seriously....but now, they are pretty good buddy's =) just like everyone said it would happen.
Thank you for sharing you trip with us.
Hugs~

Looks like you all had a great time. My husband and son went camping this past weekend up to Christopher Creek. I posted pics on Facebook (haven't been so good about keeping up the blog these days....) We ladies stayed behind, this time but the guys had a blast. We are keeping our eyes open for travel trailer so perhaps we can join you once we have that. I like the out of the way places too when I have the proper facilities ;)

Great pictures!! What an awesome trip:-)

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
