Ward Campout

Before arriving at the camp site we went "boating" on Nakaya's boat. It was a great time as I was able to assist in some first aid with Tiffany's foot. Ok, I really didn't do anything other than try to figure out what was in there. I love that kind of thing. Anyway, boating was fun. The kids had a great time and got to go tubing for the first time. I haven't wake boarded in a long time and was able to get up on my first try. The next day I was super sore. It was a great time! Thanks to Nakaya's for the invite and fun times. We will miss them while they are gone to Law School.

This was our first camping experience with our kids. It was a learning experience to say the least. Apparently I was not thinking when I forgot to pack a change of clothes for myself, different outfits for the kids, their sippy-cups (which they need at night for water) and FLASHLIGHTS! I don't know what I was thinking or where my mind was when I was packing. Anyway, we got through it with help from some in the ward (Fowler's lent us the best light ever). We only have a 2 man tent so Dave slept in the tent with Leah and Mylo and I slept in the back of the van with Milli. We should have brought another little tent but whatever, we have learned from this experience.

The next day I went running with Tim Fowler and my trainer (Ashley - just kidding she is not my trainer but she should be.) We ran 10 miles. That is the most I have EVER ran and it was really hard. All in hopes of finishing my first half marathon on the 23rd. It was a great run but I was beat and I had to go to the bathroom so bad I didn't know what I was going to do.

The camp out was a great time to mingle with some in the ward. I look forward to our next camping experience with the kids.

I wish you good luck on the Marathon. Little Milli is getting bigger. She looks so cute. So brave I think to go camping with a baby...but...looks like you had a great time.

Good job taking the kids camping for the first time!!! I bet they had such a good time. I forget important stuff all the time. Last time I made pancakes camping and forget to bring butter or syrup!!
