Camping trip

Our 2nd camping trip and probably the last for year was fun but not a fun trip! Makes sense right? It was fun but it was long. We started out with Connor not sleeping the night before we left. I thought "No big deal right? It will get better, he will sleep great in the fresh mtn air." ".....continued"

We get up to camp get every thing set up and having a great time. Connor was having a great chat with Uncle Danny. Connor had gone up with Wes earlier and had gone fishing and had a great time. I stayed behind to go to lunch with friends. Anyway, Connors' clothes were wet when I got there so we got some dry ones ones and started changing him. He suddenly tells Danny that he has hunting (camo) underwear and asked Danny where his hunting underwear are? Danny laughs and says all he has are his tighty whities! Connor was disgusted that Danny doesn't have any hunting underwear. Like who doesn't have hunting underwear. What a kid! He keeps us going!

Ok so the girls want to go tubing in the river, so Wes & I load them up, I grab my camera and we head down up river a bit where its easy to get to. I was having a great time waiting for the girls to get down to me. My job was to get them out of the river after they floated down to me. I got some beautiful pictures of Rock Creek before the girls got down to me. I was on a rock in the middle of the river in flip flops. Can you tell where this is going???? Well I ended up falling in the river, (I saved my camera though)trying to get Hannah and spraining my big toe in the process. I almost lost my flip flops several times as I would slip on the rocks and my shoes would go floating so I would have to run on those damn slippery rocks to retrieve my shoes. I know! I'm sure you are laughing as hard as Wes was a little ways up. It wasn't to bad until I had gotten out of the cold water and suddenly my toe was throbbing bad. I wanted to cry so bad. It was killing me and I was trying to be tough. Well it got to where I couldn't walk because it hurt so bad. I wasn't sure if it was broke or sprained or what. I still am not sure.

We finished letting the girls tub. Hannah and her friend tipped over in about 3 inches of water. They didn't like that at all. Hannah was crying and her friend Kelsy wasn't sure what to do. I'm sure they thought it was worse than it was. I actually had to laugh before I went up to rescue them. Madi and her friend Makall went again after that and Makall was the only tough one of the bunch! She made it all the way with no injuries and no tipping over.

.....Continued from earlier. Later that night we made smores and headed to bed. Connor and I ended up being up all night. His allergies were bothering him horribly and my toe throbbed all night. It wasn't a good night!!! So night 2 up all night again. .....continued again in a min.

I spent the day Saturday with ice on my toe and hobbling around. By the end of the day I could walk better and it wasn't throbbing at all. But I started feeling yucky. I thought it was from not sleeping for 2 night in a row. So I just watched everyone play games. That was fun anyway.

......night 3! Connor didn't sleep again and I ended up running a fever! I was ready to get home! I was done camping!

So it was fun at times but I never want to relive that camping trip again. The only pictures I got were pre- falling and breaking toe accident and slipping all over in river. That was the good times though so I'm glad I at least got those pictures.

I'm ready to go camping again and it can only get better from now on!
