May

May started out very cold. It's taken till the end to warm up. Mother's day weekend the Daisy troop went camping at Hamp Hut. We arrived Saturday afternoon. We cooked hotdogs and marshmallows on the camp fire. We made S'mores, too. The girls played and explored the surroundings. We talked about safety and wild animals. When it got dark the girls played inside the cabin while the moms hung out by the fire and chatted. We managed to get everyone settled and asleep by 11:30 or so. In the morning the girls actually slept in until 7:30 or so which surprised me. We cooked pancakes, bacon and sausage on the camp fire. We sang some songs and made some swaps. The swaps were marshmallows on a stick, bed bug on a bed roll and a bumblebee. The girls really didn't want to sit and make swaps but we did anyway. They really didn't want to learn new songs but we did anyway. lol! Sunday we went on a hike and had lunch on the trail. We got rained on a little but it was nice. We got out of there Sunday on Mother's day around 3. It was a long day. When the girls and I got home Larry had a steak dinner going and a present. It was a tractor sprinkler for my garden and what I"ve wanted for a long time. Perfect gift.
The month of May has been crazy with year end school stuff, girl scout stuff, fire dept stuff and Courtney's stuff. I've had meetings at least twice a week in the evenings. Larry's had meeting 2-3 times a week. He was promoted to Captain at the fire dept. so that puts more time and responsibility on him. He's also been working in Denver which makes for long days.
