Adventure...that is a good word and contains a lot! We spontaneously decided to head up to Mt. Charleston for an overnight camping experience - which turned into an adventure! The day-time was wonderful. We set up camp, explored, hiked, found treasures, had a great taco dinner, Boys hunted Bears, Aparri swinged in her tree swing, we played uno... fabulous day... and then THE NIGHT happened. Oh man... bad night. I swear, Laura being pregnant, had to PEE all night long (3 times... and that is an adventure in and of itself when you are camping and have to exit a tent and get out -), there was a kid up every hour with this and that and having to go to the bathroom themselves, the wind was rediculous - literally felt like we were going to be swept off the mountain a few times, and when we finally felt that things were hopefully starting to calm down...like 3 AM... CJ wakes up moaning, sits up, has enough time to say, "My belly hurts" and throws up. Luckily it was contained in his pillowcase and that immediately became a camping trip casualty that went straight into the garbage - no salvaging that one.... whew.. but after that "experience" things did settle down...so Clay and Laura got 2 maybe 3 hours of sleep. Needless to say, we had breakfast the next morning (which was also an experience since we were having pancakes, and "someone" we won't name names... forgot to pack silverware!) and then headed for home for a much needed afternoon nap. However, after all is said and done, we all had plenty of food to eat regardless of how it got to our mouths! and a camping experience we won't forget!
Aparri brought her trusty pals with her camping.... Snow White, Aerial, and Darth Vador! What a combo... it was hilarious to watch her play with all three dolls and see Darth Vador dance with the princesses! Oh, that's our girl!
