Camping with the most incredible Parks family!


This weekend was such a blast! Brandon's family invited us to go on a little camping trip. When we got up there Brandons brothers were excited to play so all the guys went to the parking lot while us girls sat around and painted our nails (typical right.) Brandon's little sister is can paint toe nails better than anyone I have ever seen. Who needs a pedicure when she is around! I also showed off my fantastic skills by painting my nails florescent pink. The color which Brandon refered to as "It kinda looks like you have power bait on your finger nails." Hey maybe that's how we will finally catch some fish!

We spent the evening playing some fun family games and eating yummy treats. Brandon was sweet enough to cook me a tasty dough boy (if you are completely confused right now you don't know what you are missing!)

The next morning us girls...and spencer, played phase ten, when everyone else went biking down the canyon. I surprised myself by, one sitting through the entire game, and two WINNING! My strategy of never keeping track of when it was by turn worked. Ha ha and everyone just thought I was being spacey! When the bikers got back we hiked up the river a little bit. It was very treacherous due to the amount of spiders and mostly their webs. I am happy to report there were no casualties.

We fisnished off the trip with a good ol' game of wiffel ball. It was a blast! believe it or not I didn't stink as much as I usually do. Probably due to the fact that I have been watching more cardnial's baseball as of late. I actually hit every time i was up and got a couple outs. This brought me great joy due to the fact that as patient as the parks family is, they are much more competitive then i am.

What a great trip! It was so fun to just be away for a while and soak in the incredible blessing of nature that The Lord has given us.
