Camping At Red Cliffs Slides

On Friday Adam called & said he was going to be getting off early from work. We decided, on a whim, to go camping. I had one hour to get everything ready to go, but I did it and we headed to Red Cliffs Slides campground before it got dark. Diesl had a ball! He felt so free to run around & do what he pleased (although I think a fell quite a bit.) That night was unpleasant for Adam & I. We forgot Diesl's port-a-crib so he slept on the mattress with us (BIG MISTAKE!!!) Now I know why I had him sleep in his own bed at 3 months old; we didn't get an ounce of sleep with him rustling around ALL night. On top of that, we didn't expect it to be as cold as it was at night (well, cold for us 65degrees.) In the morning it was beautiful and we had a scrumptious pancake and eggs breakfast. We headed off on our hike to the Slides. Now a little 411: When it rains, the water runs down this canyon and it falls into 3 different pools along the way (really cool!!!) There is one spot where the water has carved a "Slide" into one of the pools so you can sit at the top and slide into the pool (Adam has done it before but I haven't; he says it is way fun.) Unfortunately we have not had rain in a while so the pools are super low (you can see in some pics where the water should be) and there is not a speck of water flowing down the canyon. Oh well, it was still fun. There was a spot we stopped with some sand & Diesl went crazy. It felt so good cuz it was cold. Anywho, it is PERFECT weather right now to get some camping in!!!
