Spoiled Rotten...and Lovin' It

Here is where I spent girls camp......

I am such a brat, but an old and achy brat. I had a hard time sleeping on the ground. I hate having to get up, dress, get a flashlight and run to the potty in the middle of the night. My superman gave in and we are planning on camping once again. We also are planning on applying for a mission in a couple of years to the Heber Valley Girls Camp. One of the requirements is a trailer for your housing...now to get the ATV'S! 

We found this 20 year old trailer that has been used about a half dozen times..everything is brand new. Now we are looking for a mammoth truck, older model, cheap but good looking. (Steve is hoping for good gas mileage, but I think that is pushing it)

The custom cabinets

Yes, that's microwave....something that I don't even have in the house right now. hahaha

Nice sound system.

Couch makes into a bed,but this is really a couples trailer.

Storage galore.

The Loo

The bedroom. Steve thinks it's too pink and I promised to put different bedding on when camping but for now, it's nice to have everything coordinated. There are treats in the fridge. Come over for a visit anytime. As soon as we get the truck....it may not be parked in the yard!

I Came, I Saw, I Conquered?

Memories of Girls Camp.
They were all terrific. The company was the very best. I hope the pictures say something grand....I am too tired to say anything grand myself. (After a good night's rest, captions were added.)

10th ward girls from Argentina in front of their fabulous curtain.

Myra visits India inside the 3rd ward's tent.

Steve with one of his cronies that happens to be the 9th ward's YW president. They hailed from Italy.

Another of Steve's cronies, 6th ward's camp director from Ghana.

ME perormed a Japanese Fan Dance for cultural night. 

Argentina girls performed a dance also. They made their own skirts with old sheets and dye.

Great Britain had choreographed bit of merry old England and all it has given the world...guess what this is?

Our favorite spot. We were joined one fabulous afternoon, by Myra, Steve and Pres. McReynolds.

Steve found a willing victim for a game of horseshoes.

We were from Tanzania. Some asked if they had curtain rings there. 

Superman proved super once agian. He did everything he was asked (including wearing the nose ring) and then some. It was a treat for me to have him there all week.

No one would sit in the sun, so I grabbed my beach umbrella. We had a prime spot for the show. I am pretty sure this was my last girl's camp. It was a great week. 

Fun Without Black Powder

We had a great time without the expense and risk of fireworks. We purchased glow sticks. We were going to have a game of glow bowling. I had saved large clear pop bottles and put a few glow sticks in each one. The boys loved them. They carried them like lanterns and tucked them in the foliage around the yard. We had large packing bubbles and they stomped on them on the driveway. We watched fireworks exploding in the heavens all around us. The boys discovered that Popie can walk on his hands. We even sang some songs...to which we heard the exclamation, "Top it guys." from Little T.

The glow bottle

Wow! He really is super.

Spot me

Wow! electric E is going to be great!

Moms love it also.

Not bad for free!

I forgot about glow Frisbee

Blankets and short chairs...all we need.

Jermiah showed the boys how to hold the glow sticks....funny, we are reminded of Wolverine and Freddie Kruger. (Please ignore the ghost of Little T)

Smokin' Hot

Thank You Pioneers. No really, a sincere heartfelt 'thank you' for all the sacrifices and lessons taught. Thank you for coming and making a beautiful place for me to live and be with my family. This post is a special thank you for a fun day.
    Steve is a smokin' hot guy. He is getting into the smoking scene. We have some great guys in our neighborhood that are experts and we thank them for the hints. I suggested they form the West Bountiful 10th Gentleman's Smoking Club...Carter is so embarrassed,
Steve was in charge of the meat for our festivities. It was terrific.

Lighting the fire!

Pulled Pork sandwiches coming right up.

Spritzing with apple juice for moisture...yes, it's the good stuff.

Jeremiah was the corn chef

A feast! Loaded Baked Potato Salad, Acini Salad, Morgan's Green Salad, Corn, Chips,Fresh Fruit and Veggies
 (Lemon Cucumber season is here!) 

The entertainment

Big D helps himself to the homemade ice cream- (Reaster Bunny flavored)

More guests, (Notice the new balcony chairs)

Grandparents were a welcome addition

  The meal was just the first part of our fun. Watch for the fun coming soon.

Peep the Weepole- The Feasting

I should have taken pictures of Steve's ribs! (That is the second time I've lamented that oversight!) I guess I could have him pull up his shirt. hahaha
   For being a simple day, it was a feast. Ribs, Marinda's baked potatoes (yummy), grape salad, watermelon etc. The best part was watching Big D. with watermelon. Then his mother left- I think to get a wipe for him, he found her plate and we all just watched as he claimed it. It was so cute to see him chawing on one of Popie's ribs. What shall we barbecue for the 24th?

Big D loves watermelon

The cousin's table

Found Mama's plate!

WE had great company...

Ditto

The hose is there for a reason

H. and friend.

We the People Part One Appendage A

More parade,

I love that my family and friends have reverence for the symbol of so many selfless men and women that offer their lives to defend our rights, freedoms and choice to worship according to our conscience.

The candy scramble

Carter!!!!!

"Throw lots to me!"

Mike M in a pony tail?

Our very favorite Mike.

Santa relaxing in a chair. Steve got to help him make balloon animals at the park afterwards. (Steve held the jar for the tickets! Haha)

The most important part of the parade...the candy. Tomorrow- the dinner.
