We decided last minute to go camping for the weekend since it was so hot down in Provo (we know that you people in Arizona might think we're wimps, but so what). Luckily we didn't meet the bear that had been seen a week earlier in the area, but I had a rifle there to protect the family either way. Melissa did feel like she was going to be eaten by the bugs though. I told her that they were termites and didn't want to eat her, but that didn't seem to relieve the stress. We had a great time anyway!
Mackayla wasn't too sure about putting the mashmallows in the fire. She was even less keen on eating them after they came out. Hopefully she'll learn how fun roasting mashmallows is by our next camping trip (Melissa told me that we can go again in five or more years).
Mackayla loved sleeping in the tent. She curled up right next to daddy and slept great all night long! I, on the other hand, woke up several time to move her back to the middle of the blow-up mattress while Melissa enjoyed most of the night on 2/3 of the mattress with all the room a pregnant woman could dream of.
Mackayla created a new game. We told her not to touch the car because it was dirty, so she would walk over to it, point to any given spot, and ask "is this dirty?" This is just a guess, but we must have heard those words at least 17 million times!

Well, it looked a little fun -- but I don't like the bugs so much either. Melissa, how did you get your hair so straight? It looks cute!
That was very adventurous of you to go camping Melissa. Scott keeps wanting to go and I just keep telling him no.
Boy, those were tiny flats!
See...I'm opposite. I keep telling Chad I want to go camping and he keeps saying, "Girl. I don't understand a single word you just said."
I like camping and I don't mind the bugs. Melissa won't even vacuum up a spider in fear that it will come back out and get her. Mackayla is still cute as a bug.
