The Call Of The Wild (and I'm not talking about my kids this time)



My kids get on my blog all the time to play my bubble game at the bottom. Well, they are all really irritated with me right now because they HATE the anniversary song and it is really annoying and it disturbs their gaming. So, in order to please the troops, I.....changed the song. Mwaahahahaha. I think they are just irritated by having a constant soundtrack of their lives being sung to them. Tough stuff.


You know how on Memorial day we were going to go ride ATV's and we had them all loaded up and ready to go? Well, we couldn't let such an effort go to waste. So we kept them loaded all week long. Then Friday, when the kids were out of school, we hit the road jack and we didn't look back. We went camping. We had a BLAST. We had so much fun we stayed an extra day and let the kids miss Monday at school. Here are some pictures. Yes, my children are very dirty in the pictures. Being that there were no showering facilities about, we used the tried and true wet wipe bathing method at bed time. I tried the first day to keep them semi clean during the day but we would have run out of wipes within the hour, so I gave that up.

It was perfect weather, except for at night when we froze our bahookies off. We each slept in layers, jackets, 8 blankets apiece, and we were still shivering. We had the whole mountain to ourselves practically so that was very nice. It was hard to come home, but we all pretty much needed a shower so......

I am not kidding you, I am editing my slide show before I post it. I just deleted a picture and an Internet Explorer error message came up saying, "It seems the item you requested has been misplaced. Check your internet connection, cross your fingers, and try again." What the heck kind of error message is that?

I am glad the message said "Cross your fingers" Who says that?

We "camped out" in Grandma's backyard on Sunday night and it was freezing. It was too windy for us to keep a fire in the fire pit. I can not imagine how cold it was in the mountains. I enjoy camping, it is a lot of work for the grown ups though.
