Cold Camping

The kids seemed to have lost their excitement about camping when we tentatively planned to go last weekend. So, we made other plans last weekend and then Brian & I went camping by ourselves this weekend. Turns out we still needed earplugs because the wind was howling like a freight train all night, but other than that it wasn't bad. Brian had made a bunch of upgrades to the tent trailer and this was our first (and probably last for the season) chance to enjoy them.
In addition to covering the top with rubberized paint and putting in trim all around the floor inside, he installed a stereo system (that also plays MP3s). It was too windy to really enjoy the outdoors, so it was quite nice to be cozy inside the tent trailer (oh, and he also fixed the heater when he was doing everything else).

Paige & a friend came up to stay with Treyton while we went camping, and then Paige took Treyton to the airport this morning. He was excited to go, but he was a little nervous, too. She said he was getting scared in the car on the way to the airport. She gave him a pep talk and told him how brave he was. It's not his first time flying by a long shot, but it's his first time flying unaccompanied. Also, he hasn't seen his "Matt dad" in a long time so that probably caused a little nervousness, too.

That's so nice you guys got to go camping alone. Good job on all the repairs Brian! I didn't realize Treyton was going to see Matt this weekend. When will he return?

9 days! : ( It's the longest he's ever been away from me... (7 days for my honeymoon was the previous record) He'll be back next Sunday night. Aubrey, if you want to hit Riverton... you can see him. :)
