Timpanogos Cave Camping Trip

We had lots of fun on our camping trip this weekend. Although not everything went as planned.

We got to Timpanogos National Park and they had a sign out that said camp grounds full. The guy said we could go up anyway and see. We drove up very discouraged but we talked to the camp host and there were quite a few sites open. We were so glad! We started a fire and ate some smores and just played around.

That night it started to rain. It rain so hard! Qwin did not sleep good at all (so neither did Jeff and I). All day we stayed in the trailer and watched a movie, played games, drew pictures and took naps. That night Qwin couldn’t sleep. I went outside to grab the milk out of the cooler and noticed that the cooler was open and eggs were all over the ground. I got scared and ran back inside. I told Jeff that something got into our cooler and I was thinking it was either a raccoon or a bear. Jeff grabbed a kitchen knife and went out to take a look. He cleaned up all the mess and told me it was just a raccoon. He is so brave!

The next day was starting out to be perfect! The sun was shinning and we were getting ready to hike up to Timanogos Cave. Well we all started getting into the car and Jeff says he can’t find the keys. If anyone knows Jeff, you know that he is very forgetful and loses stuff all the time! Well we searched and searched. We tore apart the trailer 3 times and we found nothing. I started getting really worry at this point because we had no phone signal and the closest we could get to a phone was about 10 miles. I was even more freaked out because we don’t have a spare key to the MDX! Finally in my last attempt I checked the back of the car in a first aid kit that I saw Jeff messing with right before he lost the key. Ta DA! Jeff had put the keys in the kit and zipped it up.

The hike was fun and hard. Jeff carried Qwin on his back and we walked slowly up the trail. It was very steep but the kids did awesome! The cave was neat. Sienna was a little scared at first but later she said it was really cool. Qwin was really tired during the tour and was a little grumpy but she did pretty good. After the hike we drove home and here we are.

In the House

I talked Jeff into bringing the table in the house. I think it is so cute. I still need to get a knob for it but I just wanted to post some pictures of it inside.June 2011 005June 2011 007June 2011 013

Table is almost done!!

The table I started is almost done! I decided to go for yellow. I saw this color and loved it. So far I love this side table. It was super easy too because I didn’t have to do much sanding. I used a dark brown stain for the edges to give it an older look. I love it, what do you think?May 2011 Yard-table 021May 2011 Yard-table 020Next is to find a finish. I want something flat, so I have to go buy it. I also am going to get a knob, probably in antique bronze.
