We got back from camping earlier today, and I feel accomplished in that I unpacked and put everything away already-usually I have at least one bag that remains unpacked for days. This was my first camping trip where I wasn't in a KOA campground complete with showers and restrooms, so my fear of outhouses and the dark woods quickly subsided based purely on necessity.

One of the guys bought lightsabers for the three guys. Here Brandon smugly shows off his new toy.



"Sweet! I haven't been this excited since Christmas 1989!" says Brandon.


Bran expresses his happiness through a dramatic re-enactment of Scene 83, Star Wars: Return of the Sith

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm posing for senior pictures.

Some handsome guy posing for a picture in a cowboy hat.


The pine cones on the dead trees look like they should be part of a black and white photo- I was fascinated by the color and shape.



It was my friend Cara's birthday. I learned that cupcakes and camping coolers are not a great combo. In spite of the messed up frosting from the upside-down cupcakes, they still tasted good.


Justin, Brandon, Nicki and Cara. Justin and Cara are married and both work with me at ADP. Cara is from Florida, and makes fun of me for saying "Yeah" in true mid-west drawing out the vowels style. In turn, I make fun of her for saying "Y'all." Justin and Brandon like The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and quote Will Farrell lines.

That looks like so much fun!! Did you have any rain because it looked like parts of Colorado was having rain off and on during the week end. I would like to see Brandon in a tent he must have to curl around like a cobra!! At least you had lots of fun celebrating a birthday and just being that close to the stars is so much fun and it was a full moon to boot!!!

I love the senior picture pose! You look way too put together and clean for that much "roughage" Not sure how many days you all camped, but this had to have been day number one. Looks like fun.
