A Camping we will go...Hi Ho the Merry O!

"Hmmm...now what did I forget?" Lu questions here packing silently!

Nothing makes The Crazies go bizurk like Daddy announcing a CAMPING TRIP!! Yahhh!!

It turned out not to be the best Saturday...a rawther viscous (sp?)cold front moved in and with it unending rain...let me set the mood...damp and cold!


Nothing could damping Lu girls spirits...she was on an adventure!







At first with the rain we had to cook our weenies over the portable fire...Bubs erupts with joyous squealing...."Hot Dawg!"

Bubs was a bit of a portfolio of moods this particular trip...







Over it but brooding.....didn't want Mom to help him.






Miss Muscles! "I am a good eater Daddy....I am going to be VERY strong...gerrr (muscles flexing!)"




A break in the weather...and a quick fire and some hot mellows!







Could Bubs unstable camping moods be related to far too much hot chocolate and roasted mellows?...hmmm one wonders! But hey it is a camping trip!

















A reality check...this is what most of our fireside fun looked like!



The camp site at Cheyenne Mountain was great and the rocks under the camp spot where oodles of fun!













Still raining but having a ball!











"I'm cold!" After the last embers died we hung out at the toliets...very sad but warmer and dry..which was worth a lot! Later when we did all pile in the tent, dad and I on the outside, Lu woke up to a drip drip drip on her sweet head (water!) and Jer and I were soaked! Only little Jer stayed dry! By what we supposed as close to midnight, Jer decided that the water "resistant tent" was not "water proof" with all the steady rain...so upon looking for our shoes to run the kids to the car we found them floating! AHH! So we thru all the kids and stuff in the car and found it was only 9pm...but we were all wet, misrable, and tired....Lu moaning..."I want my bed Daddy!" So off we zoomed down the mountain to home 30 minutes away to be toasty and dry! But he kids loved it and wanted to camp again the next day...as mommy did loads of wet, smokey, muddy camping laundry and hung sleeping bags, chairs, and pillows to dry! ugh....rain is too much work!
