The Weekend

Last weekend, Doug came home for a doctors appointment. His back has been hurting him, to the point that he can barley get in and out of his truck. The x-rays showed that his lower disks in his back are badly messed up. Luckily, the solution to fixing all of this, is physical therapy. Which means that he is also out of work. So until June 14th, I have my husband home! I LOVE having him home, but financially, it is going to be very hard and stressful.

Yesterday, we attempted to go camping with all the kids. We set up camp around noon, and they played SO good all day long. My mom, Taylor and Tanner joined us for tinfoil dinners and smores, and after they left, we just enjoyed the most beautiful evening I've seen in a long time. Bedtime, however, was a whole different story. We got the kids to bed around 9, and Doug and I were able to enjoy a few hours of sitting around the fire, basking in the quietness :) That is, until midnight, when Makayla woke up. She had peed thru three layers of Jammie's, and was crying about being cold. So we packed up the kids and came home. (We were just up at the Brigham City Campsite) I realized that all our pillows and most our blankets were still at the campground. Doug went back to get them for me, and we went on with our night. Today, we headed back up, to clean up camp and let the kids play some more. The fun ended very quickly tho, when Jojo fell into the fire pit. It wasn't much of a fire, just coals. She ended up with just a few tiny blisters on the bottom of her foot. As we were driving home, Doug's mom called me, looking for him. She was wanting to make sure we were okay, because the fire department has gotten a call last night around 2:30, of a BEAR IN OUR CAMPSITE!! So glad that we had gone home!! When Doug had gone back to get the pillows, he had heard something in the bushes...and hearing the bear report, he is pretty sure that is what it was! Scary! But regardless, I do love camping and cant wait to do it again!
