Camping and movies.

This wasn't the first time that Corky and I have to divide to conquer, and I doubt it will be the last. All I can say is that is was a SUCCESS!!

Corky had one more night of going to the mountains for scout camp but the next morning Gracey was racing in a mini-triathlon. I had to be in the pool next to Gracey (so lame!) and wasn't sure what to do with Emily. It was Corky's idea to take Emily with him camping. We were nervous about how we would present this to Gracey because I was sure she would rather go camping.

I told her that her and I could go to a movie that night while daddy took Emily. Surprisingly, Gracey was ecstatic!!! We drove Corky's truck all night long because Corky had to take our car so he could drive some of the stinky scouts home in it. According to Corky, Emily had fun. She is a pretty mellow kid when she is in a new environment. She ate soup, cheese and crackers, and lots and lots of gummy bears!


Gracey and I loaded up on popcorn, red vines, and snicker bars while we watched movie "Up"!! It was great!
