Daddy/Daughter Campout
August 10-11
Matisyn looks forward to this daddy/daughter camp-out tradition with the ward every year. Emilyn was so excited to be able to go this year too. I have to admit I was pretty excited myself! I got to have some very rare time to myself. I went out on Friday night with my friend Ashly to dinner and a movie. Saturday I slept in, read in bed until I finished my book, made three batches of freezer jam, and had it all cleaned up before they came home. I have a hard time when my babies leave me, but it was a very nice break for me! It started out rocky for Matt because the girls were not on their best behavior on the way up, but by the time they got to camp things settled down and they had a great time. Some highlights were the candy cannon, BB gun shooting, horseback riding and petting the horses (especially for Emilyn), archery (for Matisyn), a late night movie, and sleeping in the back of the truck in the rain under an EZ Up! The next morning they went over to Strawberry Reservoir and did some crawdad fishing which is something both girls love. Matt didn't have his camera down there, but he said they caught a half bucket full and the girls had so much fun. Emilyn even got pinched by one, and was so proud to tell me all about it when she got home.
MATT'S NOTE: Matisyn did a great job as a big sister. Notice in the
picture while everyone is looking at the flying candy, she is making
sure Emilyn is ready to scramble to get some.
