Decided...

Several weeks ago Bestie and I decided that over Spring Break we would "camp" in her 5th wheel on "de side of" her house- just for a couple of nights. We decided to bring the grill over and the fire pit and the table and chairs. It wouldn't be real camping, but the kids would love it because of the camper. We decided to have hamburgers the first night and hot dogs the second. With of course Smore's. Bestie has the best way to make Smore's, so we decided to use her "recipe." Which is: use fudge stripe cookies instead of chocolate bars and graham crackers. It's really yummy! So she and Taylor (her nephew) got things set up. So I got there and decided to start dinner. It was a little breezy but not too bad. I had 16 hamburgers to cook. After I turned the last of the burgers, the grill decided to run out of propane. But not biggey, the burgers were done. Then the wind decided to pick up. And pick up it did. It picked up the plates, the food, the umbrella, etc. So we decided to move into the camper. The wind decided to whip everything around, including the camper door. Then Buddy decided to put his thumb into the hole between the hinges of the door when the wind decided to gust, causing the door to close on his thumb. Ya, that kinda hurt. But he was tough and didn't cry, but it hurt. So we decided to put a movie on for the kids because we decided we weren't going to to do Smore's. Bestie and I played a couple of games and kept laughing every time a gust of wind would come up. There really wasn't anything comical about the situation, but some how it was funny! (That's us for ya!!) Bestie and I needed a couple things in the house so we decided to brave the element and head inside for just a few minutes. Of course the wind decided to rock at just the same moment I opened the door and it blew out of my hands. Well it bend the door and we could no longer close it tight. About 9:30 Buddy had had enough and was ready to go home. So my mom came and picked him up. Then it was bedtime for the girls. At some point Taylor and Tanner decided to come back and we started playing card games. What a hoot that was! Finally at close to 1 Taylor and Tanner went inside and we went to sleep - amongst the camper rocking and the wind blowing - and we froze!!! It was so cold! At 8:30 we got up and went into the house. It was so warm!!! We decided to have pancakes and I packed us up and we came home. We were supposed to sleep there Thursday night, but we decided against that idea! All in all - it was certainly memorable! We went over to Bestie's Thursday night for our "camp" dinner of hot dogs and smore's. The wind decided to let us do this. The girls and I decided to stay and play games. I won both games of Ticket to Ride (BooYa Taylor!!!) Then we came home. It was great! By Friday, Buddy's thumb was still sore, but feeling better. He didn't complain about it but he favored it.
