Ward Campout

We attended the ward campout. It was Amree's first campout. She was in heaven, basically because she was outside for 24 hours. She was so excited, she just giggled the whole time. She had never been so dirty in her whole 14 month life. Daddy was a little stressed out and over protective as you can imagine.

It was not a very good turnout. There were only about 5 families there. The boys still had a blast. There was a play ground right next to the camp site, so they felt it was their job to play king of the mountain. I tried to take pictures, but it was dark and they did not turn out very good.

The Mosquitoes were crazy. They were just swarming us. Bug spray helped a little, but they just seem to love Darren no matter what he does. I put spray all over Amree, but I didn't want to get to close to her eyes. Yeah you guessed it, she got bites around her eyes. Pour baby!

I wasn't sure how it would be to get her to go to sleep in the tent. She was a little scared when we first got in the tent, because it was dark. But she soon got use to it. She was so excited and wanting to check things out. She didn't want to lay down. She kept crawling around all over every one. Finally I pinned her down and she went to sleep. She slept all night long. I couldn't believe it.

Our site was right by the Jordan River, so we went down to look at it. Pretty dirty water and almost to a stand still. There were a ton of cat fish right up by the shore. The boys were impressed. I am sure they would have fished if they had their poles with them. Amree wanted to go swimming and was freaking out like she always does whenever there is water. We let her put her hands in it, but then walked back up to camp before she had a complete emotional breakdown.

Notice Britesha is not in any of the pictures. She had a date and that's way more exciting than a ward camp out with your family. That's ok though, her date was scheduled before we knew we were going on the camp out.
