CAMPING

This weekend we went camping near Pine with a bunch of families from our ward. Can you believe that I brought my camera, but did not take one picture? I am hoping that someone that was there might be able to send me some pictures of my family. (hint hint)
When we got there, Case and Madison headed straight for the creek. Madison got in ankle deep, but Case got in up to his neck. The water was low, so the creek was very muddy. I'm not sure my kids have ever been that dirty.
We enjoyed tinfoil dinners while the kids had hot dogs roasted over the fire on coat hangers. Then there was a lot of roasting marshmallows for smores. Yum Yum!
It was so nice to get out of the hot valley and into the mountains where it was nice an cool. We were even cold at night. Good thing we had great sleeping bags. Jack and I slept in the bed of the truck on an air mattress and Wes and Case and Madi slept on a tarp next to us. Everyone made fun of us for not setting up our tent, but we liked being able to see the stars. We even got to hear the Elk bugling during the night.
The men made pancakes, eggs and sausage for breakfast and after visiting for a while, we headed home. We can't wait until next year for this annual event!!!

Okay, I'm just catching up on private blogs... hint taken. I will send you some pictures when I can!

And when did I become such a wimp about tent camping? Oh yeah, when I moved to the desert where they have snakes, scorpions, taranutlas, etc. Although, I would have been fine in truck bed with you, since it's off the ground! ;-)
