I've never done that because we lived there why stay over night and all that. It was different and way fun. We went with a group of friends that time and Connelly played until he was too tired to walk. We went camping just locally twice and that is always fun. I like just camping close so that you don't spend most of your time traveling. We went up big cottonwood and american fork canyons. We did take a trip to Las Vegas twice. Once to move our friends, the Smallmans, and then the second time for school. I had a conference to go to for school in Las Vegas so fortunately we got t
