Boys backpacking trip

The last 3 days of Spring Break the boys went backpacking.  They went down to Doll Baby Ranch down the west side of Payson.  We went there quite a bit when we lived in Payson.  They parked and hiked 3.5 miles through the middle of the weeds, sticks and river bottom.  They found where they were going to camp and settled for the night.  That night when they were getting fire wood something happened and Rhett got knocked in the head with the bottom of the tree really hard and it knocked him down and about out.  He had a huge goose egg when he got home so I know it had to be even worse when it happened.

 

 The next day they hiked up on top of a big hill so they could call me and check in. They hiked back down and got all their stuff and hiked back up a different way to head toward the car.  They ended up hiking about 10 miles that day.  They were going to just find a different place to camp for the 2nd night and I guess when they got back to the car and the boys mentioned sleeping in their own beds it sound too nice so they came home a night early. Us girls were surprised to see them.
