Memorial Day Weekend!

We had quite an interesting weekend with lots of fun, surprises and mishaps. I talked Donevan into going camping (we've been planning it for months) even though the weather called for lots of rain all weekend. So we left Friday night and on the way up there our friends trailer fell off it's axles. Crazy!!! There trailer was stuck in the middle of the road, not drivable. So luckily, their brother in law knew how to fix it and jacked it up with a tractor (yes, only in Idaho).
We ended up leaving Sat. morning instead. The weekend was a little wet. DJ ate more mud than I think is humanly possible. The girls had a blast playing. They even entertained us by the campfire with singing. They loved getting rides on the four wheeler and playing capture the flag. We always enjoy lots of yummy food and snacks while camping....and there is always lots of card playing.
While sitting by the campfire one evening, we heard some weird sounds coming from the trees. We were all a little nervous about the sounds as they were loud and strange. We pulled the cars up and used the headlights to look into the woods. Our husbands were walking around with an ax and wishing they had better protection. After we were all sufficiently scared, we decided it must have been a raccoon or some kind of animal. We were off to bed, and then some of our trailers were shaking and things were hitting them. Luckily, my trailer was spared. After being tormented for a while, we found out it was two of our friends who had driven up to scare us. It worked and their well thought out plan was quite hilarious....after the fact!
Today when it was time to pack up and leave it started raining a lot...of course. Our trailer and truck got stuck in the mud really bad. Thanks to G & E who were there to help figure out how to get us out. Before this happened our friend was loading all his 4 wheelers and motor bikes into his trailer and cut his head really bad. It required 9 staples. Ewww!
This weekend was anything but boring. We had a fun adventurous time. We can't wait for more
weekends like this. Yeah for summer. I am sad to report that I didn't take any pictures this weekend.

I am so jealous of your trailer. We want to get something so we can go camping in too. Sounds like you had a good time. Hopefully it took your mind off of being sick for a little while. You look absolutely adorable in you picture with your polka dot dress.

I totally can relate about the laundry! I still have that same bag of shoes to wash! I feel like we brought half the dirt from the moutains to my laundry room!
