Camping?
So we had planned to go camping last weekend for memorial day. But when it came time to go the weather just didn't cooperate. We decided instead to spend the weekend at Jason's parents and do "camping" events there. It was fun. On Friday night we made S'mores and the girls slept out in the tent. It started raining about 4 o'clock in the morning. I decided to check on them at around 4:45, after worrying that they were getting wet for 45 minutes and when the rain started coming down harder. When I went out they were all sleeping soundly and they had all rolled together in the middle of the tent so no one was up against the side getting wet. On Sunday after church we went on a hike at the Wiemar Institute. We followed a path that led to a tall swing where we rested and had snacks. Grandma fed Aaron some licorice and the kids all got a chance to swing. As we hiked back I got to walk in the rear with Anna (Ed and Sheila's) and I got to know her a bit more. She's so sweet for staying with me and keeping me company as we were the last ones back to the cars. On Sunday the girls wanted to sleep outside again but it started to rain just before bedtime and we decided to keep them inside. Monday morning we went on another hike with almost the same group (Ed, Sheila and Lyman joined us this time. Jason and Carrina didn't) to a waterfall by the American River. The waterfall was small but pretty and the kids enjoyed playing practically naked in the little pond by the waterfall. Aside from having to steer the kids clear of poison oak and checking them for ticks, We discovered one on Kaitlin's back Monday morning, we had a great time! We have rescheduled our family camping trip for sometime around Father's day, maybe the Monday after because our family was asked to sing in Sacrament meeting on Father's day. But we will go camping this year!
