"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Day 4 (Tuesday, June 17)

We packed up and went camping at Sugar Pine Reservoir. All the winding roads made Derek a little car sick. Another trait he gets from me. Darn. He moaned from the back seat "Mommy, I'm going to throw up". I couldn't find the barf bucket that I brought for just that reason, so I grabbed what I could find at the moment...a pringles can with a few chips left in it. I gave it to Derek and few minutes later we hear crunching coming from the backseat. I guess Derek got hungry and decided to finish off the chips. It made me laugh, but not so funny when I saw those chips later. I know, I know...gross, Natalie! :) We camped just a short walk from the lake. Grandpa brought his kayaks and we all had a great time in them. Derek and Taylor couldn't get enough. Devin (brother in law) took Derek on a long ride and Derek still wanted more. Derek said that they "discovered flowers" and he delivered one for Janene from Devin. The next day he brought me a flower after a ride with Jared. Cute kid.

I wish I could have spent more time in the kayak, but McKenna needed my attention. :( It was such a beautiful lake. The water was so clear.
Cute Allie (sister in law, Spencer's wife).

After spending the day at the lake, we roasted hot dogs and chicken and made s'mores. Yum! Grandma and cousin Emery.

Car sick? Ya, right.

That's funny that you left that comment. When Derek was sick I told Dave that I don't ever want to hear anyone tell Derek that he's faking it. All you siblings always thought I was just faking car sickness so that I could get the front seat. I know, I know, I was so picked on. :)
