camping @ warm lake

i don't know where to start abt the weekend! mc chose not to go-wanted to hang out with a friend. BC & i tried not to bug him too much2change his mind [MC is BC's22yo son] Fri., BC was going to make dinner for me & Shyla [the sis we were ridin with] but Jennifer [#2 roommate] was hogging the kitchen, so we went to B.K. after burger, got underway. After a while, Shyla said that some guy was following us. Whatever. When we realized we had gone past the turnoff to the campground, we stopped to turn around and the guy [who was still behind us!] pulled over,too!!! [scary music] That idiot girl got 00 the car to see what he wanted!!!! [scary music gets louder...] And... it was MC!!!!!!!!!! [she says she had figured out it was him-- yeah, right!] actually, she must've at least had a clue. {I HOPE!!} it was dark when we arrived--putting up a tent is so much more fun, that waY! Ezra [a bro in our cong] came over and helped us w our tents-he is such a sweetheart! i didn't sleep very well- could not get my feet warm. :( the group campsite was wonderful-- lots of room for everyone to spread out! and pure sand covered the tent sites: no rocks or pinecones sticking in our backs-YAY! About half our cong. was there. [despite the dreadful weather forecast] Friday night, quite a few of us stayed up late, bcs Sarah had agreed to drive from boise to twin falls to pick up Keenan, and they didn't get to the campground till 1:30 a.m. While we were waiting up, we saw a fox! He was quite adorable, but he was getting into food in the campground host's pickup bed. You would think the host, of all people! would know better than to leave stuff out, like that! when i did go to bed, i didn't sleep very well- could not get my feet warm. :( BC took a pic of me, at burger king b4 we left. left camera on. battery died. : ( there were lots of pix i wanted to take. Sat., after breakfast {Terry, the brother who-- with much help from his lovely wife, Kelly-- organized the outing, was the main breakfast cook} everyone just kinda did whatever: fishing; playing cards; going for walks; riding motorcycles & atv's... The motorcycles & atv's are very noisy, tho! and to me, the point of camping is to get away from all that! But it was wonderful to be relaxing amongst brothers & sisters! Saturady, a little b4 dinner [really AWESOME roast beef- - thank you, Doug!!!] it started pouring! rain. Thank goodness the community kitchen has a metal roof!!! Dinner was very delicious; and the downpour continued... BC & I had expressed some concern about whether our tent would hold up to the weather, and Doug and Terry went over & put a tarp over it for us [we didn't have one!] They are both very loving brothers-- BC says their wives are extremely fortunate!] MC has become infatuated with this card game called 'president', and has been threatening to teach it to me. Well he was off doing something else, and the group playing it needed another person, so i played a few rounds with 'em. When i went to bed, sat.,alas, my cot and my bedclothes were wet- dried out my sleeping bag by the fire, and went & slept in Shyla's car. It was very comfy, too! sunday, i was the first one up- decided i should get the fire going. the woodpile looked a little low [and rather wet!] but.. when i looked around, there was dry wood under the picnic shelter! Hmmm... who could have done that?! Guess what!!! it was MC [with help from Harley] Doug gave a short guitar concert for the early risers, then we had breakfast. After breakfast, sun., Terry conducted our watchtower study [about 1/2way through, we had another downpour!-heavy rain on the metal roof made it hard to hear] after w.t., we had a spontaneous outbreak of Kingdom songs [acapella-Doug had to leave] some are quite good singers. it was wonderful! : ) Every time we saw the sky getiing dark w clouds, we built the fire up really well, and had a fire through all the rain!!! : ) anyway, sunday was wonderful, too - i played president most of the day. we laughed ourselves silly. no one wanted to leave, but the real world was calling...but shyla & bc & i didn't head out till after 10:00 [pm], and therefore, didn't get home till nearly 1:00! oh, i forgot abt the jabenero jelly! one of the brothers brought some, and i decided to try it. it was very hot! i like things with flavor other than just hot, tho i also almost forgot about the s'mores! another one of the brothers was making s'mores--

with mint flavored andes' candies. VERY yummy!!

BC was mad, cause she didn't get one. Sorry, BC. what a trip!
