FATHER DAUGHTER CAMP OUT

Brandt, Preslie and Maci joined the other fathers and daughters at a stake camp out, at Camp Woodland. They were lucky to have their Grandpa Miles join them with his new trailer. They cooked hot dogs, roasted marshmallows and tried to stay warm. Unfortunately the weather was very cold and rained all night long. Preslie enjoyed playing with all the other girls up there especially her good friend Alysa. We learned that Preslie is very fascinated with the fire. Brandt had to keep close watch on her because she loved putting everything in the fire. She told me her favorite thing up there was "roasting sticks." As you can see in the picture she has one of her roasting sticks. Maci thought she was pretty cool being up there with all older girls. She was the youngest girl there. We were not planning on letting her go because we felt she was a little young. When it came time for Preslie and Brandt to leave, Maci layed it on thick. She was grabbing her pillow, shoes , suitcase and giving Brandt that puppy dog face begging to go with them. Of course, Brandt gave in and said that he couldn't leave her behind. We scrambled real quick to get her ready for the camp out as well. They had a great time. Brandt sure enjoyed spending time with his girls and his father. I missed them and was excited to have them home.

I love the idea! Mike is taking the boys to Moab this week, but I look forward to when he can take our little girl too. I love camping and I think all girls should too. It sounds like they had a great time. What did you do Kris, with the house to yourself?
