School is out and the kids are so happy. We made treats for the teachers as a thank-you. I hoped they enjoyed their apple cupcakes.
Life
has been so busy so I am taking my lunch break to write in my journal. We had the opportunity to clean a cabin at
camp Piuata. It is located 30 minutes
east of Kamas. We decided to make it a
camp out with the family. It was so
beautiful. When we arrived, we went
straight to work. There was a lot of
mice droppings (gross!). I was saying a
silent prayer that the haunta virus would not get us. After cleaning the cabin, we went
exploring. I loved the smell of the pine
trees. We had a great time looking for
fossils and catching frogs in the pond.
When nightfall came, we mad hot cocoa and saw a bat. Tim got a fishing pole and swirled it in the
air to see if the bat would go after it.
Sad to say, the bat knew better but Teagan thought it was the neatest
thing. There was no cell phone coverage
so we got to enjoy the great outdoors.
We slept on cots in the cabin.
Around 3:00 am I had to go potty.
Stepping outside and gazing at the stars was amazing. I was so tempted to wake Tim to enjoy the
beauty with me. But, I let him sleep and
I walked to the bathroom.
The morning was gorgeous. We were making breakfast as the other ward
members arrived to clean the other cabins.
Tim was making egg, ham, and English muffin sandwiches. I was getting warm by the fire. I was thinking about how beautiful the day
was and the fun time we will have fishing.
My thoughts were over taken by McCabe coming over and saying, “I got
some bad news.” I wondered to myself, “now
what in his 11-year-old mind could be bad news.” “I locked the keys in the car.” Yep, that was bad news. Plan B went into immediate action. We bummed rides off other ward members. Once home, we got the spare keys and drove
1.5 hours back to camp. The boys went
fishing and I drove back home. I was so
tired I fell asleep. After my nap, the
girls (Soli, Jacinda, Xadia) and I went to the Mandarin restaurant for a nice Chinese
dinner. Then stopped by avalanche snow
for a Sno-cone. It was a fun evening to
spend with the girls.
This past weekend was father’s day and celebration of
our 19th wedding anniversary.
Tim and I went to Wendover and watched a tribute to the beach boys. It was fun to dance and sing along to the
music. I also got to eat a hug éclair. It was sooooo good. Margaret stayed with the kids.
Sunday we celebrated Tim and the good job he is doing
as a dad. He got candy bars, letters,
and a tie (with the kids on it) for father’s day. The kids are very fortunate to have Tim as a
dad. He is very loving and does a good
job teaching the kids about the gospel.
I hope one day the kids realize how good a dad Tim is.
