Keyampin'






We went camping about a week ago. It was fun. Let me run down the highlights with you.

We started off leaving about 7 hours late. Oh yes, we brought enough stuff to survive in the wilderness for several months.

On the way there, we had a barf-a-bration. The girls will never forget it. It was right by Bridal Veil Falls, but we didn't know that until the return trip home because it was pitch black out and on the side of the freeway. Later, Juliette commented, "Here comes the barf." It was sad.

We finally got to camp and had to set up in the dark. I brought an electric pump with a car adapter for the air mattresses, but they were not the correct wattages. They didn't work. We luckily had a hand pump, and I am good at hand pumping.


It was pretty fun once we got camping. Juliette "Loves June bugs." Kate was terrified of the pit toilets and Sarah swam across the lake twice. There was a bear who destroyed the campsite across from us the first night, he was back the second night.

We also had a little Dora-type adventure to "pee-rock, fork and chopsticks, dog treeeeeeee!!!!"

One of the days, Juliette played in the sand for hours and when we got back to camp after she threw a massive fit, I sat her in the inflatable raft and she fell asleep. I also got a picture of her that reminds me a little of someone in the family... I am sure you can guess who.

Footloose


Announcing my return to the world of musical theater- I will be playing the role of Ariel Moore in "Footloose" the musical at the Runaway Stage, here in Sacramento. I am hoping that I will learn a lot about acting. I will also get to sing George's favorite song, "Holding On For A Hero". I don't know if I have the chops to actually make him cry like the fairy godmother in Shrek 2 did. Oh yeah, that was the leaping horse, right.
