It usually takes us 3 hours to get there but I LOVE it. I never grew up camping but I think camping is like every other type of vacation - if you go with people who know how to do it, it's fun. If you have no idea what you're doing, it's going to suck. SO with that said, make sure you're prepared. Bring air mattresses or else you're guaranteed to be on a rock or hard spot. Camping food can be good if you're tricky. Try making soups/stews or something before you go and then all you have to do is warm it up and wash your pot. Easy, better on the tummy, etc than most camping food. Your kids will get dirty. The sooner you realize that and go with it, the more you can relax. I learned that the hard way. My MIL bought a potty tent and we use that every year (women and children only!). She just buys a new actual potty every year and chucks it after our trip. They're like $30 at Walmart and SO worth it! You'll prob have a great trip. Just go into with an open mind. :)Taylor and Kristin Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111391820715920428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-8061752015737672412013-06-04T12:55:52.698-07:002013-06-04T12:55:52.698-07:00Payson is a great place, my Grandma used to have a...Payson is a great place, my Grandma used to have a cabin near there in Christopher Creek.
