So we went camping friday and Saturday down to big rock candy mountain with the Chamberlains in our ward. It was so fun! Joseph and Jennifer are crack ups, we had a blast. 
This is the night we got there, thinking everything was just going to be perfect.... and then we realized we forgot everything! It was quite the adventure trying to figure out how to make pancakes with no skillet or spactualla, and how to get tin foil dinners out of the oven with no shovel, glove, towel, or anything. 
This is how we ended up getting our dinner out of the fire (at least we brought roastin' sticks!!
Joseph got his hands all dirty doing this, no extra water, or soap, so John lent him his pants for cleaning...
Gosh! They even look good first thing in the morning! We had a great time sleeping in our cool new tent that John got for his birthday.
Saturday morning was the day for tubbing! John and i were the ones that were so excited about it, so we thought we'd try it out first.
We got all ready to go, realized how cold it was, sunk when we tried to sit 2 to a tube and decided that that just wasn't going to work. The Chamberlains decided to rent a 2-man kyak instead. It was so fun floating down the river! We'll be going back for sure!
But mine and Jennifer's legs got so fried! We're been so sore ever since we made it home, here's just a pic, you can kinda get the idea....
Even though we forgot everything, it still turned out fun and Joseph now jokes that he's writing a book about the adventures with the Van Ormans... should be an interesting read...
