5th Ward Camp Out...

This year our Ward Camp Out was held at Earley Park because of issues with the bridge at our last location.  It worked out fabulous... especially when the winds and rain set in and we had a lodge for the dinner and show.  We were a little sad that our turnout wasn't as great as the 220 that were signed up to come.  But we made do and had LOTS of leftovers of that yummy dutch-oven dinner.

As far as the sleeping at this event went... well I slept better when my baby was brand new and waking up a couple of times a night than I did here!  It started with the mattress that we were sleeping on...  the one that didn't hold air... then add in the coyotes barking in the distance (I thought someone was screaming)...  I could have passed on the trains that went past nearby... more than once... and the owl in the trees above our tent... the thunder and lightening... and thankfully the light not pounding rain...  a daughter that needed to use the bathroom... a baby who woke up probably to all the noise above... of course I was SOUND asleep when the call came for breakfast @ 7 AM... but I was most grateful that our camp out was only for one night!!

I feel much more comfortable in a hotel!

I'm just saying...

But... the "talent" portion of the camp out was once again a hit!  I have been asked to post a few of them here...  our ward really is talented and there were some great musical numbers, dance numbers, violin solos etc

 Anyone who blogs knows that it takes forever to post videos on here (and if it doesn't take you long... PLEASE tell me how you do it...)  So these were a few of the more humorous "acts"...

(you'll need to turn off my music of course)

...Like "Dad's Life"...

... The "Mom Song"...

Brian and Gina's rendition of "Anything you can do, I can do better."

And I posted this next one not because it's humorous... but because a couple of those cute girls are mine!  And Tayler taught all these girls the dance.

Yep... our ward... friends... and neighbors... are just as fun (and talented) in everyday life!!  We think we are pretty blessed to live where we do!
