Okay, I am not sure how to sign in, this is Ang.....THANK YOU for not telling me about the mouse!!! You know I would have high tailed it out of there if I would have known...I mean, I know they exist and that we were outside, but I like to think they are keeping their distance. That was my whole reasoning/fear of the tent cabin...MICE, yuck!
I am kinda impressed that you endured the weekend! The mouse in the pants is gross, glad he wasn't nibbling while you were wearing them. Smores sound good. So does hot chocolate, which my kids are now calling coffee, not sure why. I'll call later! NAT
What do you mean Rich "fixed" you? I don't think there's enough room for all the vomit.
Looks like a very fun weekend. I guess you are are true Montana girl, you camper you.
Cute pictures.. glad the kids had fun
Sounds like a great weekend. The mouse part - disgusting!
AShley - I ditto your feelings about camping and will sign us up for another trip in a heartbeat. Love your list. Loved your company. Loved everyone on this trip. Loved that the kids were so independent and played their hearts out.
I love Angie's reply - you were right not to tell her about the mouse....does she know it visited us every night we were there? Ha Ha Ha...squeak...
