Trying to remember that. We had a nice and relaxing vacation up at the in laws cabin endearingly called "The Rat Shack". We were able to sleep in a travel trailer outside and it was very peaceful and quiet. I only read one book up there which isn't a lot. The last time we went I read the whole "Children of the Promise" series. We went on a fun wagon ride with the mules. They have a covered wagon. I really enjoyed that.
Then me and the Mr. went on a scouting expedition for his upcoming antelope hunt. We saw a HUGE herd of elk grazing in the middle of lower Lake Mary. The lake is dry.:) Hence the elk being in the middle of it. Mr. D had his binoculars and he swears there were at least 300. It was neat.
We ate, read, slept, visited, and the kids had a ball with their cousins. Everyone took a day for cooking and it was nice to only have to cook for one day. We were hoping for rain the whole time but only got a few sprinkles. Just enough to get the cars gross. The weather was in the 80's so we were outside for the majority of the time.
I was sitting on a blanket near my niece watching her while her mom used the restroom and I had a bug on me. No big deal. I killed it and there was blood all of over my hand and pants. I think I had my very first encounter with a tick. For the remainder of the trip I was paranoid. Checking the bed before I got into it, scratching and itching myself from pretend offenders, and freaking out every time I saw something that even remotely looked like one. Those things are nasty.
It was a nice respit from our daily affairs but I have to admit that I'm glad to be home. Having a sleep number bed definitely makes it hard to sleep anywhere else.
Speaking of grass, the Mr. wants to get ours planted this week. We have a baptism coming up and he would like to have that done before the party at our house. I have to say that it will be nice to have it done, but I'm not looking forward to having to do it in the hottest time of the summer. :( Oh well. Wish us luck!!!
