Camping at Lake Mead

Last month we camped overnight at Lake Mead.

 

 

Camping is a wonderful family activity that is pretty frugal once the equipment is purchased.

 

 

 We had a great camp site with a tree that was perfect for the kids to climb. In the next site was a family with a bunch of kids and our kids had so much fun playing with them!

 

 

Alex even shared his Power Bibles with his new friend.

 

 

We went on a very hot, but pleasant (except for the last few HOT minutes) hike.

 

 

 Frank is our family chef while camping, (just about the only time he cooks).

 

I surprised the kids with glow sticks, which made excellent nightlights for a little girl who doesn't like the dark.

 

The next day the kids climbed the tree again.

 

 

We also played in the water in the rain- we pretty much had the lake to ourselves at that point.

 

 

We took the short hike around the visitor's center.

 

 

We also visited the Visitor's Center which has a small, but nice museum. We love camping as a family.
