Dave, Tiff, & Afton: Memorial Week-end...

I must start by saying we are not that crazy family that goes camping every Memorial weekend because we love rain and spending time with the rest of Utah in the forest. Not us! We go camping because we love the outdoors and being ALONE with nothing but our 4-wheelers, a camp fire and some cold beverages (mtn. dew of course) This year we went up to Bone which is probably one of my favorite places in this entire world, it's right up there by Hawaii! We are 3 locked gates and about 7-9 miles in from the "real world" as I like to call it. Once we get past that first gate it's like there isn't a care in the world and I adore that feeling. We had a blast this weekend exploring new trails, eating around a camp fire, and sleeping in the cold! But we (David) also tipped the 4-wheeler and launched us off the side for the first and hopefully the last time! I slid on my head/shoulder for about 6 feet and David flew literally in the air for at least 10 ft. All I remember is opening my eyes as I am still moving and Dave is running up the hill and is pulling me to my feet asking if I am OK before I even knew what hurt. It happened so fast I just laughed not knowing what I would say was wrong if I started to cry. We got back to my dad at camp when I realized my ankle, leg, and shoulder hurt; the entire side of my left body was covered in mud and my hair had chunks of mud. When I started to tell my dad the story I began to cry... ha reliving it and remembering I was in pain I guess when all the sudden I realized my nagging back that usually always hurts felt amazing! So I guess 1 good thing did come out of the accident.

Once we got home and unloaded we headed to wash David's truck when we got a sudden urge for a snow cone. We waited in line for 45 minutes and right when we ordered the ice machine broke, such our luck- but we got free coupons for next time! Overall a great week-end!!

Now it's back to work and reality!
