Duck Creek

Last week from Thursday-Sunday we went camping at Duck Creek. It is just outside of Ceader City. The place we camped was really pretty and had lots of trees. It was only $10.00 a night and it had flush toilets and running water in the bathroom, but there was no soap. You can not expect to have everything right? I would say that the drinking water was not the best so I would bring water if you would go there. We were camping there because Issac is in charge of his family's reunion next year and we wanted to see how nice it was. We walked all around the camp sight to see what we liked so when we got home we could reserve it. The best part about the camping trip was that you didn't have to spray bug spray because there were not that many bugs. That made me happy knowing that I would be there that long and not have a shower I would not have to be dealing with the stickiness of the bug spray. The only bad thing that I have to say about the place is that they have many squires and they are so brazen that they will walk right up to your camp and try and eat things. We were gone one day and the squires ate through my mother-in-laws rubber made container. We had a good laugh about that one. Issac's family use to go there as kids so this place means a lot to them. My mother-in-law use to go there at a little girl too.

For the most part the kids were good. When it came time to go to bed they would like to play for a long time we would have to go in and spank them to go them to go to sleep. I thought that Lizzy would have freaked out about the bugs, but she didn't. Instead she decide that she would be her moody self and grunt the whole time. I thought that I or Issac were going to kill her because she was just being so rude and moody to everyone. She had her share of time outs in the tent so she would be better.

We also went on a lot of hikes and the kids did good. Espically Becca we didn't pack the stroller or the backpack so she was on her own to walk most of the time. When it would get really steep then Issac would put her on his shoulders. I think that she liked that even though she didn't say anything. While we were loading the car the stubbed my toe and it got swollen and I was limping wile I was there. Let me tell you how much fun that was. I am looking forward to going there next year. Sorry I didn't really take any photos so I have none to post.

4th Of July

We had my step father in law Howard, my mother in law Kathy, and my bother in law Tony over for a bbq. My mother in law Kathy was kind enough to buy some fireworks to light off. The kids had fun watching them. It was chilly outside so I got Becca and Alex a blanket I also ended up getting Lizzy one later too. Tony and Issac would light them off at the same time so it would go faster. Thanks to my mother in law for the fireworks. Hope you all had a great holiday.

Going to Idaho Falls ID

A few weeks ago I went to ID to spend some time with my mom. She was going to watch my kids, but I asked if she would be willing to help me make a blanket she said that she would. I have been re-molding Alex room and have been doing John Deer theme for his room so We found some material that we thought that would make a cute blanket for his bed. I still need to tie it, but I think that it looks cute. He is too little so he had no idea that this is for him which I am glad that I can still get away with it. I am guessing that this is my last year that I will be able to get away doing this. I took the kids to the zoo and to play on the toys at Tauph Park. They had a blast! It was good to get away and spend some time in ID. I really miss it and wiash that I could move there.
