drumroll please . . . Derek! I'm late getting this post out but Derek deserves his kudos. A few weeks ago was my family's annual campout. It started several years ago where my dad, brother, 2 brothers-in-law, and Derek took the oldest grandkids camping for one night. At the time we had more boys and it became our own version of the Fathers & Sons. Since then, the girls have caught up and now it's just turned out be a family campout. Derek took Emmy for the first time last year and this year he was undecided about Bay. I mean, who would want to take a 2 year old camping by themselves? She has to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes! The day of he decided to take her. She was so excited as she packed her own little backpack.
The weather that night was chilly so Derek packed a ton of blankets and off they went - as the weather got colder I got more nervous about this decision - but Derek was undeterred. So off they went - Derek, Tyler, Emmy, and Bay.
That just left me and Logan - now you know how great this was! My sister had come from Utah for the campout and so it was just me, Logan, Allyson, her baby, and my mom (my other sister and sister-in-law were on the campout). So we went out to dinner and hit several stores Friday night. Saturday morning we were out shopping again. The campers didn't come home until 4:00! Twenty four hours of eating out, shopping, and sleeping - hard to beat eh? My friend called and I told her where my family was and all she could say is, "wow, it's not even Mother's Day".
The campers also had a great time. They got up there for dinner (Bay ate 2 hot dogs!), had s'mores and set up camp. The next morning they hiked, rode the 4-wheeler, had lunch, and had a great time. They came home covered in dirt and exhausted - and all smiles.
