Camping at the Spruces

We went camping to the Spruces a couple of weekends ago with my family. I am not much of a camper, but have decided that for the sake of Ryker, I should make more of an effort to be more outdoorsey! My parents took their trailer and the campground had flushable toilets so it wasn't too bad. My brother, Andrew, brought a bunch of his friends and they entertained Ryker so it was a pretty relaxing and easy trip for me!

On Friday afternoon, we hiked to Donut Falls, which is one of my favorite hikes because it is so pretty and ends at a waterfall.
Ryker and me taking a rest from our hike up Donut Falls.
Most of the hike is pretty easy and just stays on a trail, but when you get to the waterfall you can hike up the rocks and the river to see the falls.

The waterfall flows through a hole in the rock and is way pretty. Cade, Brody, and me in the river, the water was freezing!
My VERY favorite thing about camping is sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows!!

My second favorite thing about camping is playing cards. My family LOVES to play Solitare Frenzy. We are all a little competitive and it can get quite crazy, but is SOOO fun!!
