Ward Campout

Friday night we took our annual trip up the mountain to camp with the ward. For some reason I forgot to get the camera out, so we have no pictures of actually camping. We were kinda busy while we were there too. We decided that rather than eating hot dogs, we would go all out Mexican. So Will bought some carne asada, and little corn tortillas. I made beans, guac and salsa and we hauled it all up the mountain. Oh, and I forgot to mention that we brought the grill too. Yes, it fit perfectly in Will's van. I think that everybody thought we were crazy for bringing it. But we had a fabulous dinner, and dessert.

We then went to our tents around 10:30ish were we "rested" for the remainder of the night. The kids might have slept, but Will and I didn't. Nor did any of the other adults that slept near us. You see, Will has recently started to have allergies. He gets these violent sneezing attacks, and it just so happened that we forgot to bring his medicine, so he was up all night sneezing.

We finally pulled ourselves out of bed in the morning and got our stuff packed. We decided to go the rest of the way around the loop but somehow took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up miles away from where we were headed. It was all good though. We stopped on the side of the road for another little adventure, and that is where I took all these pictures.







Then we by chance ended up close to a bike race that was going on. So we bought some corn dogs at the local convenient store and sat on the curb to enjoy all 30 seconds of seeing the bicyclist race by.

And then we drove through town looking at where would love to live some day, and we saw this beauty for sale in some one's drive way. It's only $5000.
