Camp Out!!

I decided to go to the ward camp out. Unfortunately, Jeremiah was unable to attend. We toughed it out and stayed with the Gaines family. (Again, I will be forever indebted to them!!) So, Codey helped me with the tent, and the girls got situated in the great outdoors. I think they had a wonderful time! It was a little difficult at first to get the girls to bed, but once they were asleep, they slept for a decent amount of time (especially with having colds). After we went to bed early Saturday morning, it decided to rain and continued off and on for the rest of the morning. We ended up leaving around 9:30 am because of the downpours. I was completely soaked from taking down the tent and packing up the car. It was great fun though! Hopefully we'll get to go next year and will have nicer weather so that we can enjoy all the perks of camping! =0) Oh, and while the guys (and some of the older children were fishing) we visited under the canopy that the Gaines brought. Andy got a flounder and Marshall got a gift (I think that's what Chris said). However, the fishing trip went from about 9 ish until 12:30am. They are very dedicated fishermen!
