We went camping in Payson this weekend, and what a fun time we had! We needed to get away. We slept right by the tonto creek and it was beautiful. We can hardly wait to go back! River jumped into the river...immediately! He brought sticks, and pine cones for us to throw into the freezing river the whole time. We made yummy Fajitas and sat around the fire.
