{Conference Campin'}

Did I just not vow in my last post, three weeks ago, that I would not get behind on blogging again? Yea, so much for that! So, guess what? I'm playing catch-up again today.... be prepared, lots to come!

As a family, we always try to plan a little outing over General Conference weekend. This year we hooked up the trailer and headed over to Kanosh to camp for the weekend. We invited whomever wanted to come, and my parents took us up on the offer. Derrick wanted to do a little scouting, since he had a spike Elk tag, so that seemed like a good place to go.

Aren't those the cutes little dirty camping faces you've ever seen? Why is it, that they never look quite as dirty in the pictures as they do in real life? Believe me they were DIRTY! and their feet.... ICK! For some reason they all thought it was great idea to go without shoes more often than not!

The only thing Kaleb needs to make him happy no matter where we go is lizards! If he can find a lizard, the trip is a success!

The kids spent plenty of time playing in the stream, and we all went on a few good four-wheeler rides and mom and I took a few walks. But, my favorite part of camping is just hanging out and relaxing, and we did plenty of that.

I just love a good fire.... add a few marshmallows, some Fudge Stripe cookies and some Starbursts and I could just sit there all night! Poor Brock, one of his Starbursts got a bit too gooey and dripped on his wrist and burned him. When he wiped the goo off, the burn blister and everything came with it.... OUCH! He still has a pretty good scab and it's been more than a month now.

I was especially glad that we were able to find Conference on the radio. What could be better than sitting out around the fire with your family, listening to the things the Lord wants us to hear from the leaders of the Church?

Awwwww, camping happiness!
