A few weeks ago Heather and Doug invited us to go camping with them this weekend. We were really looking forward to it! Heather and Doug and literally professional campers. You will never camp with any one else like them. I promise you that. Anyway, it seemed like everything that could go wrong did and we could just never get on the road. (Be prepared to read the work "then" a lot.) Long story short, I didn't have anything to drive for two days so I didn't get to do my shopping until the very last minute. I forgot to tell Jared where the keys were to the toy hauler so he couldn't load the 4-wheeler until I got home. Once we got everything in and were ready to go Jared saw something on his truck that needed to be adjusted. Then we had to go park his work trailer at his uncles. While we were parking it we found out that our little 2-year old cousin was missing so Jared left to go help look for him. (Don't worry they found him safe and sound. He was with his Dad the whole time. Ooops!) Then once we left I realized I didn't bring the directions so we had to turn around look for them. Never found them. By then we were ready to eat so we stopped to grab some yummy take out Mexican. We were eating while driving and sure enough we get pulled over. The running lights on the trailer weren't working. We got that worked and and finally got about 6 miles or so from Heber and we see all of this smoke shining through the headlights of the car behind us. At first we thought that it was the brakes because they had just been worked on. As soon as Jared got out of the truck he could smell transmission fluid. He looked to see that there was a nice steady stream of transmission fluid coming out. We called our Aunt and Uncle's head mechanic and asked him to come and tow us. Then our friend come get the trailer and take us home. We were not quite 30 minutes from home but we knew we would have to wait a while. It was great to have our camping stuff because we pulled out the chair and grabbed the DVD player and watched a movie. Jerome, the mechanic, got there and loaded up the truck and we jumped in with Ty and headed home. We love only about 45 minutes from where we were going to camp but the whole ordeal took 3 and a half hours. I realized that we have great friends who dropped everything on a Friday night to come and help.
The next morning we decided to go out in my truck and see Heather and Doug. The girls had a great time getting filthy dirty (but no one got as dirty as Kennedy!). Addie and Kennedy got in some good girl talk. They made us laugh so hard. They got their chairs and went off away from anyone and sat and talked. Just like teenagers would.
And of course Heather and I had to get in a good game of Scrabbs.
Kimber and Kennedy got their Olympics in as well.
