City of Rocks & Roll Out

This is our 2nd attempt at making a camping trip to the City of Rocks in Idaho.

At least we made an appearance this time.  Last time we just cancelled, thanks to the weather.

This is what zero sleep and a night spent wondering if your tent is going to collapse under the hurricane outside looks like: 

Good thing we married geniuses who can turn a shade awning into a lean-to shelter.

Thanks to our pals Spencer & Rachel, a hearty dutch oven breakfast kept us from starving...and freezing.

Look at all of those awesome rocks we didn't get to climb.

Hopefully 3rd time's the charm.  We'll be back.

The boys braved the elements and stayed to do a little bouldering.

We girls kissed them goodbye and rolled out to a warm-ish home, some much needed warm blankets & a chick flick.  We love you, George Clooney.

 Lessons learned:

S'mores make a great breakfast,

I cannot sleep through anything, e.g. a tornado,

and

Friendships DO survive the dissolution of a ward.

***Please stay tuned for the story of a successful rock-climbing/camping trip in the near future***
