A few weeks ago Dave and I decided to go camping up in the mountains and enjoy the outdoors
The leaves were changing and the weather was still nice, so it made for a perfect drive up the canyon. We took the Alpine Loop and camped around Spring Lake. We left Provo pretty late and made it to our campsite around 3am. This is what we woke up to...
For breakfast we had yummy pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and juice. It was the BEST camping breakfast i've ever had! Beats granola bars and bagels anytime!
After breakfast we packed up and drove the rest of the Alpine Loop and enjoyed the beautiful foliage!
Last weekend we went up Hobble Creek Canyon and drove around till we found a area to camp out on. Weather was nice, but a bit colder than the last camping experience. Dave got the fire going and we warmed up with a yummy cup of hot chocolate!
For dinner we had chicken and beef semi-prepared tin foil dinners with tortillas, guacamole, and chips. Dinner was delicious! For entertainment we watched Seven Pounds.
That night we realized that we forgot to pack the griddle, which presented a problem for making breakfast the next morning. We brought plates with us and decided to sacrifice one and see if it would work as make-shift griddle. I woke up the next morning to the sound of crackling fire and breakfast already made! My boy is awesome!
Breakfast consisted of pancakes, hasbrowns, sausage, hot chocolate, and orange juice. 
Thank you Mr. Plate for sacrificing yourself!
Thank you Dave for allowing Mr. Plate be be sacrificed!
Im still missing my desk which will go at the end of my bed and i still have a few more pictures to hang up, but all the unpacking is done...thats all that matters! Oh and I also have my own private entrance.
Saturday we got up super early to head down to Georgetown to watch my cousin play in the high school soccer state championship. This was my first high school event since I graduated and it was fun seeing how somthings never change...like the way the cheerleaders yell out PIRATES (just imagine it with a very thick texan accent...not pleasant). Needless to say I kept making fun of them like I did years ago. The game was very interesting, full of unfair calls and one that resulted in giving the our goalie a red card with 2 minutes left in the game. The game was poorly refed all around. In the end our team got second.
On our way back to Forney we stopped at the Hillsboro Outlets and bought an item or two :) By the time we got home it began raining. Can I just how much I love texas thunderstorms! I got so excited for lightning and thunder. The sad thing is that the storms here pass over so quickly, but I love the smell of rain in the air before the storm, during, and after. Even with all the rain we've been getting lately here in Utah..it just doesnt compare.
At the end of our egg hunt I had a total of 5 eggs and $6. Liz had 4 eggs and $2. Steph had 10 eggs and $2. Looks like I found the good eggs! After counting our eggs and money we all headed to the park for some sand volleyball and playground fun. Yummy frozen custard from Leon's was had after :)
On my last day I took my sisters to Yogurtland. This yummy discovery was made during my trip to San Diego and ever since then I've been craving it. Luckly they happened to have one in the Dallas area. 
Once I got my sisters hoooked on Yogurtland we took a visit to the mall near by and made a few more purchases to be put on dads credit card. On our way back home we got lost. I dont live here, therefore I am not familiar with all these highways that go here and there, not to mention the added tollways! Oh and not only were we lost, but it was during rush hour traffic and our car was on empty. So we called dad and told him kinda were we were at so he could get us home...we eventually got there :) Gotta love big unfamiliar cities!
