Friday fun

Water has been seeping into my office along two walls.  They pulled up the carpet along those two walls  and set large blower fans along the walls to dry out the walls and carpet.  Everything is pressed together in the middle of the room.  I transfered my computer to my manager's office, who had the day off, and set up shop there for the day.

I was supposed to get home early today because of fathers and sons.  The boys have everything packed and in the living room.  I didn't get home until after 6:00 PM.  The boys and I loaded the truck and Heidi had all of the food and supplies ready to go including water, condiments and wipes.  We got everything laoded in the truck and we were off.  We listened to a misc. playlist from my ipod on the way up Spanish Fork canyon. 

We arrived at the campsite before the sun had set behind the mountain.  We parked, got out and began survaying the ground for a suitable place to put up the tent.  I seem to always find the big holes.  We walked back and forth until we came to an agreement to the place.  The boys then began constructing the poles and set up the tent. 

We gathered the essentials from the truck and placed either in the tent or in front of the tent depending on if it was for dinner or for sleeping.  We then went over to the campfire where the men and boys were eating.  I had forgotten camp chairs (this is why we should allow Heidi to survey our pile before we leave) and I sat on the cooler. 

Our system was for me to load the weenie sticks, the boys to cook the weenies while I get the buns and condiments out and then the boys dress their buns for the cooked weenies ( I am trying to see how many times I can say "Weenies") while I redress their weenie stick with more raw weenies.  This went on until we were out of weenies.  I had my own cheese weenies which BR was kind enough to cook for me as well. 

There were games set for the men and boys to do after dinner.  I was willing to participate in one token game to show my support for the elders quorum.  The boys wanted to play the egg tossing game, of course they wanted the egg tossing game, raw eggs at their father, do you see the motivation.  We would go from one distance to the next winning ten five pionts then ten and so forth.  To win each distance, there had to be two throws, to and from.  BR and I got all the way to the final distance before the final egg that I through hit his hand at an angle down by his knee, leg omelet across his pants!  C and I were next.  We also made it to the very end until C's final throw back to me caught me up near my face.  Now from the amount of yolk that exploded from that devil egg, it was obviously an ostrich egg.  It blew up all over my arms, shirt and face to the delight of my boys and the fourteen other bystanders.  I called it a night and went to my tent.
