Morgan Camp Out 2009

As anticipated, we had another great Morgan camp out! We also had the two, unwelcome camping traditions: puking and rain. UGH! Emmy got sick the first night which means mommy got NO sleep because I was busy catching puke in the puke bucket. THANK HEAVEN it only lasted the first night!! We had great weather UNTIL saturday, when it rained and I couldn't decorate for Chris' birthday. I was sorely disappointed because I had lots of fun stuff to string/tack all around the camp ground. Oh well, what do you do, right? Besides, NOTHING will ever top the surprise I gave him last week :)

It's always fun to have Chelsea in town when we go camping! She's so goosey in the pitch dark blackness of the night and her cousins, of course all boys, really took advantage of that!! We had been telling scary stories around the campfire and all the younger kids - and Chelsea - were really spooked!! Jordan had been teasing Chelsea that he was going to scare the pants off of her, so when he got up to supposedly go to the bathroom, she immediately sat on my lap, looking for protection! Soon after, Spencer got up to go the bathroom as well (yea right)! Spence soon returned and tried to assure Chelsea that Jordan really was up at the bathroom, but she didn't buy it. She kept looking behind her, into the darkness, trying to find him hiding behind a tree or hoping he'd snap a twig as he walked toward her. Within a few minutes, he returned, not trying at all to hide. And that's where the video begins!! Once she saw Jordan and knew he wasn't going to scare her, she got off my lap and sat down in her own chair. So focused on Jordan and being relieved that he didn't scare her, she didn't notice Spencer get up out of his chair.......

BTW, Todd was just trying to capture how the little kids were spooked from the stories we were telling. He had NO IDEA what was about to happen :)

Here are the highlights of the weekend, the video being #1!!!






















This is how Chris preferred to celebrate his 40th birthday!! Not as the center of attention like I made him endure last week.
