Brownie Camp








This weekend the girls and Dan took off for "My guy and me" camp. They enjoyed two days of hiking, canoeing, archery and crafts. Emily is crazed for bows and arrows and carried around two sticks the entire time trying to shoot one off of the other (with no string to aid in the shooting process...resulting in a toss of the other stick). They had a blast with the exception of some annoying girls in their cabin at night. The older girls were fighting and upset Ashley so much that she walked from her cabin to Dan's cabin (approx 100 yards away) in the black of night...in her baggy sleeper. Accompanied by the ever faithful Emily... of course. This freaked me out because an animal could have gotten them (or some sicko dad) or they could have gotten lost. Evidently they are braver than I thought. I won't even walk to the bathroom at night when we camp. Other than that they had a blast and Dan won't stop singing the camp songs he learned there. I watched their video they brought home and laughed my head off at one thing Emily said while on a hike. She stooped down to pick up a pinecone and said "This is so pokey of a pinecone".

Ah the joys of summer and camping. You know you got up to use a toilet or two. And I know there was some snipe hunting in there also. What's happened to us in our old age? We used to be fearless.

I am laughing so hard right now cause I am imagining Ashley in her baggy stomping up a dirt road in the middle of the night all pissed off. Hahaha, that brave little girl!
