A Few Words...

Can we all say the word we all dread? TERRIBLE! That is how our vacation turned out this week! Mike and I had been planning this camping trip for sometime, rest, relaxation, take many rides on the ATV, etc. Didn't happen, the bugs were the worse this year than any other year, we couldn't really come out of the camper, bug repellent didn't help, it was terrible. Brenna, Jason and daughters came up for a day and night, my poor granddaughters were eaten alive. But with the kids we still had a good time. Did find out that my youngest granddaughter, Kamryn, loved riding on the ATV, if it wasn't going a little faster, she wasn't happy. She would throw up her arms and laugh as we were driving. Really cute! We had made a couple of extra small purchases to make our camping a little more safer for the kids. A fire pit with a protective screen on it so that no one could fall into an open pit, best purchase of the year, then because the bugs were so bad, I took a little trip down to Sportman's Wharehouse and bought one of those screened tents so we could eat, play games, etc without being bugged a lot. After the family left, Mike and I took Dani's TV into that tent and relaxed, slept and I read my book. That was real nice.

Then the best part of the trip, and I say this with all seriousness was, we had major rain storms, one right after another, we got at least 3 inches. We had decided to leave a day early because of the rain. So we put on our ponchos, ran around the camp site, throwing things, literally, throwing things into our car/truck/camper. I was able to get out with the ATV but because of the rain and Utah clay group, the camper and Mike's truck got stuck real bad. We came down the hill an
d thankfully we were able to get a hold of Mike's brother, Don to go up with his diesel and pull us out. But Mike and I were soaked, slipping and sliding in the mud, rain...that was fun to me. Then the rest of the week we just piddled around the house, nothing too exciting.Saturday Mike went back to work and tomorrow (Monday) is my turn to return to the daily grind. Can we say "Yahoo". That was a sarcastic "Yahoo".
