Camping

Last Friday I took a bunch of the girls on a very spontaneous camping trip. We had totally planned to do something else but ended up at Mt. Madonna. We had a lot of fun. We roasted marshmallows, ran out of hot chocolate water (Nicole tried to warm up water over the fire CONVINCED that the thermos would heat up the water on the inside EVEN THOUGH the whole point of a thermos is to maintain the temperature of whatever is INSIDE of it despite the temperature on the OUTSIDE), slept on the hard ground with a pillow and a blanket or in the back of Kandice's truck, told not very scary ghost stories and got kicked out of our stargazing position by the rangers (poor Steffy's knee). Then we packed up the next morning and headed back home. Poor Jaleesa and Nika were so tired because they had been on the beach all day (we almost lost Jaleesa but God kept her from a rip-tide **yikes**). Anyhow, totally have to do it again.~side note~ The picture of the group Nicole looks really great....................................................................................she was really stuck in the tree.

Steffy started driving lessons the other day. HAD to get a picture of her in her STUDENT DRIVER car!! I remember when I took driving lessons and we went on a back windy road and at the first turnout the instructor had me pull over and ALL these cars went past (so embarrassing because of the huge yellow sticker on the back)--so Steffy had to suffer some humiliation. Isn't she cute!?!
