More camping adventures......

We went to our ward campout last month and well it was interesting. I don't like camping. Well not the sleep in a tent, no running water, dig your own potty or bring a port-a-john, middle of the woods, watch out for bears, primitive sort of camping. It's very stressful for me because I don't like to be dirty and I'm a hovering mother..........anyone wanna go camping with me now!? :) But I went - for the children and for the husband. 7 months pregnant, sleeping in a tent......I must be insane right?! And I wasn't the only one there - Heidi Allen was in charge of the whole thing and she was 8 months prego. Difference being - she loves to camp.

Jeff asked me at one point during my sarcastic comments "Why did you come?" "Because you like it" - who can argue with that. :) It was fun, I might even go again. I don't envy Heidi and all the prep work she did. She's great! We had great food, great fun and great company.
 the site - doesn't look to sloped, but it was more than I thought it was. We did sleep on cots, but I had Abbey next to me and couldn't really move.....long night and early morning......

 An INTENSE game of Mancala

 Dinner - BBQ beef, watermelon, soda and chips - can't beat that!

 Jump rope

I love this - she's so dang cute! Trying to pack up, she climbed in to find a nice quiet spot

Off to a lake nearby...(30+ miles nearby....) and FREEZING COLD


 




The End Result: they stayed here until most of the car was unpacked and went to bed. What an exhaustingly fun trip!!! :)
