Last time...

We are planning on going camping this weekend. One of the "to do's" on my list was to clean the tent trailer. The last time the trailer was used was by Ben and the young men leaders and I'm 99.9% sure that it did not get cleaned. So the girls and I, armed with buckets of soapy water, rags and the shot vac, we cleaned the trailer where we found this tucked inside one of the cabinets...
The last time that we went camping Anna wore that hat. We went to East Canyon with Ben's family and poor little 15 or 16 month Anna could/would not sleep. She cried and cried so much that she and I ended up sleeping in the back of our Expedition. Needless to say that the next morning we packed our belongings, said our good-byes and headed home, cutting the trip short. I don't even have pictures from that trip...it was that quick!! I vowed that I would not go camping until our kids were older, so we haven't been since 2007. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't worried that this camping trip could end the same as the last. Hopefully, the current girl who can now (barely) wear this cute hat will have no problems and we will enjoy our trip.

After all, Idaho is a wee bit further than East Canyon!!

I'm confident that this trip will be much better. Think positive thoughts. :) Hope you don't have to sleep in the Expedition again!
