We had another successful camping trip with the Maughans this year. Something about this year made it more fun than previous years. Not sure what it was. But we had a good time. I felt kind of helpless packing and loading up the trailer, still not ready to do any heavy lifting. But we got packed up and out the house in record time. I'm not sure what's happened to my need to clean the house to death before we go, but it was gone. Unfortunately, too, because we had to come home to a messy house, but whatever. I'm sure the kids enjoyed me not nagging them. We spent the first day setting up camp and Nate, Brad, Noah, and Jack went fishing. The next day we did a little more playing, everyone explored and some people went fishing again. Erika had been dying to go fishing so she did that. We shared our Woofums with the Maughans. We enjoyed the campfire talk every night. Friday was our day at the lake. Unfortunately, there was no beach this year! All the good spots were already taken so we put ourselves at the spot next to the boat ramp. It was super windy and rocky, but the kids managed to have fun. Nate got out his "toy" and rowed around in that for a while. Then Brad and Travis took a turn. The kids skipped rocks, played on the tubes and the air mattress. I got stung by a bee! Wo is me. Then we made our way back to camp. The Maughans shared their Peach Cobbler with us that night and we all sat around their fire and talked and laughed. It was a lot of fun. Saturday was spent packing up and then stopping for a marshmallow war on our way down the canyon. That was a lot of fun. Charity had decided blowing on a marshmallow gun was not a good idea for wisdom teeth holes, and stayed in the car with Sadie for me, so I got to go out and have some fun. We made the mistake of stopping for McDonald's for lunch in Park City. Nate went in, ordered on the kiosk, and then stood there for about 45 minutes!! Not exaggerating! We were in the car, just waiting, but the clock was ticking! He was slowly getting later and later for work! Luckily he asked for his money back and then hurried and made his order, so he was able to leave, but SO CRAZY! Very frustrating too. We got home, he showered and then hurried off to work. I was grateful the kids helped unload the trailer so well. We got things mostly put away. Then Charity, Kelly and Brad left for Evan's surprise party, and Luke and Noah left to play with friends, so Erika, Jack, Molly, Sadie and I all got Cold Stone to go- with a coupon I got for Door Dash! So yummy and we didn't even have to leave the house :). Which was good because I was washing my unmentionables and couldn't go out in public. It was a nice relaxing evening of watching movies :).
