CAMPING on the MESA

 We went camping on the Mesa.

There are no pictures because I forgot my memory card, which makes me so sad because it is so beautiful up there. It reminds me of the High Uintas.

Nate's knee is still in a lot of pain.

I had to load the car.

Unload the car.

Set up camp

Make dinner.

All of which Nate normally does and after doing it this once, I really appreciate him.

Anyway, Nate was fishing on the lake in a raft and I and the girls went hiking.

He gave the girls a walkie-talkie, so they could talk to him.

The girls loved using the walkie-talkie and telling their dad all about their hike.

We got back to camp and I started the fire and began roasting hotdogs.

Sierra triped on the hike and really hurt her elbow.

She went in the tent to lay down.

I told her to come out and eat dinner.

She said, "My tummy hurts. No get that food away from me!"

Then she threw up. 

I wasn't prepared to care for a sick little girl at camp, so when Nate got off the lake I said, "I think we have to go home."

Neither of us were happy about it.

Sierra was sheet white sitting in the car moaning, "Don't let me see any food."

While I cleaned up dinner.

Took down camp.

And loaded the car.

Then helped Nate load his raft because he knee was acting up.

I kept thinking thank heaven I am not 20 weeks pregnant because then my belly would really be in the way.

Then I remembered, "Oh yeah, it doesn't matter if I am 20 weeks pregnant my belly is still in the way!" What?

The girls were covered in filth when we got home.

They both crashed in the car and I didn't want to wake them for a bath.

I knew I was hanging onto those old blankets, from when Nate was in college, for a reason.

I threw one on the bed and one over the girls.

I didn't hear a peep until morning.

When they woke up they went straight to the bath.

I think we will be day camping from now on.... at least until Nate's knee is healed.
