Campout at Red Cliffs



We went of or annual Ellison Family Memorial Day Campout last weekend. This time we went to Red Cliffs campground by Leeds. The above picture was taken under one of the arches on Sunday when we went on a hike.
Listed from left to right: (Jeff, Grandma (Wendy), Tia, Shawna, Jack, Jeremy, Dustin, Taryn, Landon, Licorice) On the rock: (Chloe, Makele, Tanner, Kylie).
Not Listed Brenda-who was taking the picture and Grandpa-who was back at camp.

This camping trip was one of the better ones for the Ellison clan with no mishaps so to speak of, such as getting stranded on an island, being caught in a severe lightning/rainstorm, or losing any of the children.
The kids especially had fun they ran and played from sunup to sundown everyday. They were always ready for another hike,and they loved climbing on the rocks and playing in a hole in the cliffs that was right by our campsite for hours a day. Tanner and Kylie would have even slept in that hole if we would have let them. When it was time to go home Chloe kept asking if we could please stay just one more day.

This picture was taken on the Anasazi trail it is a picture of the kids in a old Anasazi Pit. To bad these weren't available for use by the campsite. They would have made great playpens or cages for the kids.

Well I guess now it's time to do the laundry and rest up so we will be ready to do it all over again on the 4th of July Weekend.
