Skyline Ward Campout

It is Sunday and The Skyline Ward Campout is complete. Johnson Excavation recieved their permits to run the Ashphalt plant and Things are in full force. It has been a very busy week trying to get things ready. We pulled the 5th wheel over to Indian Hot Springs on Thursday night and set things up in what they call the grove. The dinner went very well and there was lots of really good food. My neighbors, The Smedleys , came on in friday afternoon and here comes David , Cynthia, and Hailey( Our future General Board Relief Society President ) to help. We are soooo lucky to have great neighbors.Hailey helped me make the strawberry lemonade while Mom taped paper to all the tables and David cooked hot dogs. Max was making beans and I had the pulled pork cooking all day. That night I got a flat tire on my car and went home with Max so I could drive the camry to Amandas' wedding shower in Chubbuck . Max had to go to work at 4am. He called me at 9 and said Jan the Feezer is bleeding. I got as much in the other freezers as I could and got ready for the shower and headed to Lowes to buy a new one. I bought one in 15 minutes and headed to the wedding shower. When I got home, Cynthia and David brought our 7 day cooler home and I was able to transfer the meat in to that.Max didn't get off work till 9 so We waited until sunday morning to go get my car and The 5th wheel. Meanwhile Dave Battson had put the doughnut on my wheel and then Gary Long took it to Les Swcab and got it fixed and it was put back on when we got there..Magical Tire Fairies!!!!.. I mean Magical GOOD OL boys!! The new freezer arrived today and I got the food put back in. Bryce and Jeff Helmandollar helped us get the food out of the camp trailer so we could get back to normal. This week is the Stake 24rth of July dinner....and next is Chris and Amandas WEDDING DINNER.I did gerry rig the Quilt top together good enough totake it to the shower in the midst of all of this. I am grateful for the flat tire so I got home in time to take care of the freezer....
