Derrick and I organized a camping trip to the Wedge Overlook in the San Rafael swell (not too far from Price, UT). Derrick's sister's boyfriend recommended it to us so we thought we'd try it. This place is called the mini Grand Canyon. I'm still not used to desert camping but it was a really pretty place.
The Sharps (my sister and brother-in-law), the Ropers (Derrick's friend growing up and his wife), and the Chandlers (some friends from the ward) came with us. After we sent up our tents a few of the girls came over and told us that they were there for a bachelorette party so they might get a little loud. Luckily they were never a problem though we all thought that it was pretty strange that the girls each seemed to have a dog and that they were camping for the bachelorette party.
We were all in charge of our own food and still ended up all having the same kind of tin foil dinners for dinner. The Chandlers made some really good peach cobbler with a dutch oven we borrowed and Jeremy (Roper) had a lot of fun with playing with lighter fluid and the fire after we were done cooking with it.
I was able to sleep surprisingly well considering I was 33 weeks along. I didn't feel at all guilty bringing a queen-size air mattress to sleep on.
After breakfast we drove down into the canyon and stopped to see some pretty cool petroglyphs. The signs explaining them didn't know too many details about them. Some things they did tell us were that the petroglyphs were thousands of years old, had been added to several times, and because of their prominent location, were meant to be displayed. After having a good look we found a river to play around in. Heat is starting to be pretty uncomfortable so the cold water felt so nice. After eating lunch we headed home. Showering felt so nice.

You are a brave woman. At this point I'd need a queen size air mattress and a portable AC unit before I'd even think about camping.
I just can't get over how small you still look! You are so cute. I'm sure you don't feel small though. I think it was a great idea for you guys to get your vacationing done at the beginning of the summer. Looks like you had lots of fun!
I went camping once when I was pregnant.... yep, never going to do that again. I had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom but Boyd wouldn't go with me because there was a pack of wolves howling nearby, so I had to hold it all night. It was a pretty miserable experience.
