Backyard Camping

Eric and Justin....uh....hiding?

 Our friends the Schultz' and the Calder's (both from our old apartment complex, although the Calder's moved before us) came over for a party. The plan was that sleeping over would make it so that we could get up EARLY and hike the next morning. Um...maybe going to bed at our own homes and really sleeping would have made it possible for us to have enough energy to hike. Oh well, we had a fabulous time as it was! I chickened and slept in my own bed, because when everyone went to bed Ruth started to cry, had a dirty diaper, needed a bottle made...and by the time that was all finished it was about 1am and I decided moving her to the tent was a no-go. Still fun. I am so glad that we have such great friends!

This gives you an idea how big our new backyard is. These three tents only took up one corner, and we still had an entire side of the yard left.

Sterling was happy to grill.

We are showing off our glow sticks, but since the camera had a flash, you can't really tell.

Some people thought that because it was dark outside they could start making out or something.....really people?

We spent the evening playing ladder ball, in the dark. We put a glow stick bracelet around each rung, and shined flashlights when the person had a turn. It was pretty much awesome.

What you could see while throwing.

Seriously? Did EVERYONE think it was so dark they could just kiss whenever?!?! Haahaaahaaa.

Lindsey and Justin smiling for their camera. Haahaa

We also had creamies. I had no idea how happy that would make Sterling. Note for future.

I stole this picture of Lindsey's blog, which is why it looks so terrible, but I wanted a picture of everyone. (I hope you don't mind, Lindsey!) And yes, I have all the ladder balls around my neck. Sterling put them there. And I have a glow stick coming out of my head. I didn't realize it would show up on the picture, haahaa.

I also swiped this picture of Ruthie and Myah playing the next morning. That is our new basement apartment by the way.

And really, my husband is HOTT. That is all for today folks.
