Thought I'd Give It One More Try!

A couple weeks ago we went camping with Seth's sister, Kiersten, and her kids, her boyfriend, Curtis, and his daughter. This camp-out was a lot more civilized than the last! We had running water, latrines, camping stoves and no rain. The kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins — and hopefully soon-to-be-cousins — fishing and hanging around the campfire roasting marshmallows. Kiersten and I even attempted making a peach cobbler in a dutch oven. Let's just say that it was a good attempt.

Daddy Daughter Camp Out, part 3

Looks like they had fun – they came home smiling and smelling like a camp fire!

I was so happy last night to have the bed all to my self and not have to sleep with earplugs (Seth snores really loud). I slept in the middle of the bed and woke up this morning with absolutely nothing to do for anyone. I laid in bed for abut 30 minutes got up, took a shower, lounged on the couch for awhile looking at my Pampered Chef magazine. Sounds fabulous doesn't it? Are you jealous? It was fabulous for about an hour. Then I got really bored and I missed my family.

Welcome home guys, I missed ya!

Daddy Daughter Camp Out, part 1

Seth took the girls camping last night. Can't wait to hear how it went. Watching them get ready was pretty funny. Seth told the girls to pack a back pack for the camp out. This is what they packed for one night of camping out.

Rachel: 3 pairs of underwear, 5 shirts, pair of jeans, and 3 pair of shorts, and six pairs of socks.
Alex: 3 pair of underwear, a couple shirts and 3 shorts.

Seth told them to go upstairs and repack. They were only supposed to take one pair of underwear, one shirt and a pair of jeans or shorts for the next day. As the girls were walking up the stairs to repack a stuffed animal fell out of Alex' back pack. Seth looked at me and I said, "Let them take a stuff animal." Seth asked Rachel if she had packed any stuffed animals and her response was, "Uh, maybe." She had packed 5 of them!
