Derrick's parents are almost finished with the little place they are building in Scofield, and it will be nice to be able to visit there more often. It is so beautiful there. We slept in tents on their deck. We were trying to make it a nice little camping trip for Cecily. She came home from preschool one day after talking about the subject, and she said, "Mom, I want to go fishing at the lake and sleep in a tent. And we have to buy 3 things at the store. Chocolate, Marshmallows and Graham Crackers. No, we need to buy 4 things at the store. Chocolate, Marshmallows, Graham Crackers and FIRE!" So we made s'mores, which she LOVED. As far as fishing goes, we bought her a pink and purple fishing pole. But since neither Derrick nor I have ever gone fishing, we just took her down to the water and let her pretend to fish. Personally, I think Derrick had more fun with that. He pretty much stole Cecily's fishing pole and played around with it himself! I guess I need to get him to start a new fishing hobby!
The girls really enjoyed the firework show over the lake. But my favorite thing was spending 45 minutes trying to get a bee out of our tent!
