"Glam"ping...........

I had to still the term "glam"ping from a friend of mine. I believe the interpretation is glamour camping. Everyone makes fun of me because camping to me is going to the Canyons resort in Park City. It has a nice mountain setting and fresh air while on the balcony. And you can always start a fire in the fireplace. Now what's wrong with that? Well apparently my family doesn't share my same views of camping. So we compromised. For Christmas this year we were able to get a 5th wheel trailer. This weekend was the first opportunity we had to take it out and try it. Friday night on our way home from soccer at 9:45 p.m. 15 min. before the storage lot closed we grabbed the trailer and took it home and started getting ready to go. Saturday morning I had opening ceremonies for baseball so the plan was to leave right after that. We were just going to take a small road trip and go here in Tooele because it was close and free. But as we headed up to the campsite we realized it was still closed for winter. So we headed to Wasatch State Park in midway. It was awesome!!!! Although it rained all day saturday and snowed sunday morning it was still nice to get away. We were able to just hang out play games and watch it snow. Morgan and Thaddeus both thought they would catch a skunk. I assured them if they even tried I was going to leave them in the mountains. So they settled for worms, bugs, squirrels. The kids were great to help pack and unpack. I expect that to wear off fairly quickly. But it was a great trial run. We are looking forward to Memorial Day weekend, 0ur next scheduled camping trip!

Take me out to the ball game..........

Wow it is that time again. Outdoor soccer is well under way and T Ball season just started. Any given day you will find us hanging at the ball park. Wether it is for T Ball or Soccer we love them both!!! This time of year get's very crazy and leaves little time for updating blogs but I will try my best to keep up. I am coaching the Giants this year. We just had opening ceremonies and it rained the whole time but, it was still worth it. There is something amazing about being at the ball park and hearing the National Anthem. Morgan's team is doing very well and we have 5 tournaments this summer. So there should be plenty of pictures to post. Morgan plays both defender and midfield. She is an amazing runner. I love to hear the comments on the side lines when morgan runs down field. Last friday night we had a game and we noticed Morgan having a shoving match out on the field. Later Morgan reported the girl on the other team told her she was too short so Morgan replied with "maybe your too big" and then they started shoving each other. As a parent I realize I shouldn't condone that but I was proud!!! Mike and I both sat on the sidelines looking to see who was coming out on top. Morgan won!! She really gave the big girl a work out. And she got the ball around her and ran off giving her this little stare of see I am not too small. I know call me a bad mom but It was cool to see Morgan becoming a little more aggressive and defend herself. She is small but I pitty the fool who under estimates the attitude wrapped up in her small little body. Thaddeus loves to play T Ball. He is a great hitter and likes to announce to his team that he rocks at T Ball. Well he doesn't lack confindence.
