Camping and hiking in Mt Charleston

We headed up to Mt Charleston this last weekend to make sure we got one last camping hurrah before this baby comes.  We camped at our favorite camp site there, Old Mill, where we took a walk and saw deer running through the campground (Van gasped and said, "I see horse!"), ate dinner, laughed and played games, and kept the kids up hours past their bedtime.  Then Aaron and I stayed up for another hour and a half just talking and staring at the stars.  Heaven.  :)

The next morning after we giggled in the tent for a bit and ate breakfast, we headed to hike Mary Jane Falls.  The kids were SOOOO slow at first we weren't sure we'd make it, but as soon as we hit the switchbacks they turned on the juice.  It's a pretty tough hike but they both made it (with a tiny bit of assistance at the end due to a minor blister problem and a loss of motivation)!  We had so much fun and they were so cute all day.  We ate at In-N-Out on the way home and then made a quick trip to REI and then home to swim.

Add that to my cute hubby pampering me all of Mother's Day and it was absolutely a perfect weekend!
