our house: July 2011

I've wanted to go to the Manti Pageant for a long time and we finally made it! We went with the wonderful Losee family and had a great time. Our campground was within walking distnace to the temple and had a pool (that was freezing), play area, bathroom/showers and millions of mosquitoes! I'm really not exagerating, MILLIONS! We had quite the experience just getting out of the car. The bug spray was of course on the bottom of all our baggage and poor Scott had to be eaten alive while he tried to find it. Then we jumped out as fast we could sprayed ourselves and put up our tent as fast as we could in the dark :). I didn't think at all while we were packing the bug spray that it had deet in it and so we could not put it on Jane. What was I thinking!? ( thats why we had to put the tent up so fast so that we could get Jane out of the car).Star stayed in the car with her and tried to keep the ones that had gotten in the car away from her. When we got home I looked in the back and saw all these black smudges on the ceiling and I asked the kids what they had done (ya know, in that tone that they love :]). They were like, "Mom, those are the mosquitoes Star killed when she was protecting Jane!" Star, the hero! Anyway, the next day Scott found the last bottle of bug spray without deet in the whole town :). Jane was so good and we all had so much fun. The pageant was really cool and the temple was absolutely gorgeous. We defintely want to go back and go inside.
