Wild Weekend

Friday I got up knowing I had a lot to do. We were going camping and I had to prepare 18 tin foil dinners for that night. Not to mention all the packing. Spencer was headed to work when he found a major problem. Our basement flooded!!! There was water everywhere. The only thing I could think of was that the sprinklers were on for a really long time the night before. You see two of our sprinkler lines wont turn on automatically, so Spencer had turned them on manually and kind of forgot about it. Well normally that wouldn't be such a big deal, but the end of the dripper was broken, it was like the hose was on and shooting right into our window well. Well it was a big mess, thankfully we were able to borrow our neighbors wet vac, and I used a little duct tape to fix the line, all is well now. One good thing came out of the chaos. As I was opening the windows to air out the basement I found "Crawly", that's right I found the lizard that escaped from the cage into the air ducts. Crawly was still alive, but looked very, very thin. So amongst all the chaos we had to tend to the poor little guy, he is now doing much better, I think he is out of danger. To top it all off I took my car into the shop to get the battery checked, it's been really funny when I start it. Well it was the alternator, thankfully it was still under warranty so we didn't pay a dime. We ended up taking Spencer's car camping, it has problems of it's own, but we made it.
We went to Little Deer Creek Campground in Wasatch State Park. We ate tin foil dinners, and I made cobbler with my Dutch Oven. Spencer gave me the Dutch Oven for Christmas and I've been excited to use it. The cobbler was yummy!!! The next morning we woke up to the sound of a pack of Coyotes. It was really cool to hear their calls, not something you experience everyday! After breakfast we took off to the Uintah's, and we spent the day at Tea Cup Lake. Spencer and the kiddos swam, and the Uncles and cousins spent the day fishing. We had a great time!!!

Here are the picture/s of the day:

Who knew "cleaning" the cooler could be so much fun!

 

JJ picked out a Star Wars book for completing the Summer Reading Program, he was so excited! Eva picked out a Dora book. 

 

Cousin's Day at Gateway. We took the kids to play in the fountains. They had a blast!

 

Poor little Eva fell off her chair at dinner, she wanted to sit on my lap the whole time. JJ asked me to get him something, so I moved Eva off my lap. She cried and cried, then JJ offered his lap to her, that did the trick. What a nice brother!!!

 

Twice this week Eva wore under ware, no problem. On Tuesday I let Eva pick out her very own under ware at Target thinking she'll love wearing the ones she picked out. Wrong! She doesn't want anything to do with them. This morning I put them on her head, just to be silly, and hoping that she would be interested in them. She's wearing pull ups for now, but I told her that when the pull ups are gone she has to wear her under ware. She is definitely ready for it. I don't remember the last time I had to change a poopy diaper.
