Heise Camp out!

Here we are with another camp out. This time we went to Heise Hot Springs. Over the past 2 years that Bryan has been working at Shilo Fire Sprinklers with Juan and Tom, they all have become really good friends and Juan invited us all again to go camping with them.

On Saturday we went and played real golf. We had a big group so we had to split it into two and we (Bryan, Kim, Karri, and I) were the second group with Juan, Diego, Jr., and Antonio ahead of us. The only time that was available for us to do it was at 12:00 noon-the hottest part of the day! Everyone was doing a pretty good job but I was having a really hard time with it but I still had fun. Towards the end though, I was getting really hot and tired and was starting to not feel well but it was a lot of fun and I actually got a little bit of color on my snow colored arms!  

Bryan hit a couple of really high-I 

mean really high balls. He almost 

hit our friends that were way ahead

of us! In an attempt to show me how

to do it, he hit Karri in the leg who 

now has a welt from it!

Because we were a little unorganized 

with taking turns, there were a few of

us who almost got killed! Karri hit one

that went whizzing inches away from my

face. Kim was putting her ball on the

ground when Bryan's ball went soaring over 

her head. I hit one that went in between Kim's 

legs. I think Bryan might have been the only 

one who didn't have a near death experience 

because he was waiting for us most of the time!

Since I had to hit my ball every 20 feet (literally)

I got really tired and had to take a lot of breaks

under the cool shade.

Marshmallows are always a big hit when camping

and someone was always roasting mallows-even

at breakfast time. 

Juan and his family have a 4 wheeler and a 

little motorcycle. We took them for a spin. 

I don't remember seeing this but here is Bryan

with at least one wheel off the ground. 

  

Here is Karri 4 wheeling for the first time!

I was getting hot in the sun so I went and sat

on some rocks in the shade. Bryan was coming 

back from a little drive and came and picked

me up and let me drive. Well at one point he 

was holding down the gas and we were going

really fast-it was a little scary but still fun.  

Antonio, me, Karri, Jr., and Diego

The boys went fishing early this morning and 

caught some fish. Karri jokingly said she would

clean them and even though she tried to put up 

a fight everyone held her to her word so here she 

is gutting her first fish! She was so brave. It was 

one of the nastiest things I have ever seen. 

(Kim in the background covering her eyes...)

(Tom's daughter Caitlyn gutted one too)

Thank goodness all the kids wanted to gut one

so none of the adults had to do it except for Tom

(Bryan's co-worker) who showed them all how 

to do it-what a great teacher!

The two boys (Jr. and Antonio) roasting their

fish over the fire. It actually tasted pretty good. 

Bryan and Juan and the boys loved it. I thought

it tasted alright but it left a fishy taste in my mouth

that was kinda nasty.
