Camping And Ticket Fines

Camping....

Below you will see a slide show of the camping "trip" Dave and Amanda took in the back yard. Dave really wanted to go camping one more time this year, but it just didn't work out for us. So, he and Amanda decided to set up the tent in the backyard and camp back there. It was a lot of fun for them. Especially Amanda. She and Sarah both had fun setting up the tent. Sarah stayed inside with me that night, but played in the tent with her sister until Smores time. I got the girls all ready for bed and while I was doing that, Dave set up an old grill with wood burning to make our smores. They were soooooo good. Def. have to do that again. :0)

Ticket Fines.....
Last week I parked in a 15 min. spot for Amanda's gym class. I thought it was just a sign the building manager had put up and I've parked there before and didn't get into trouble. Well, I was taught a lesson that day. It is def. a city sign and I got a $15 ticket. So, this week I took the girls with me to the police station to pay my fine. Amanda asked what we were doing. I told her that I had gotten a parking ticket for parking in the wrong spot. I told her that I wasn't following the rules like I was supposed to and got in trouble. Then, we went to the Y and I worked out while they played in the kids play area. About an hour later I picked them up and we went back to the car and were driving down to Amanda's gym. She asked where we were going. I said, "We are going to your gymnastics class." And, she asked, "Are you going to follow the rules this time?" I giggled and said, "Yes, I'll follow the rules this time." ERRRrrrrrrr!!!!!

That sounds like a great camping trip! I love the pictures. My son would have said the same thing as your daughter. He is always reading the speed limit signs and telling my husband to slow down. Kids are funny!

I like the idea of camping out in the back yard!

Sorry about the parking tickets. I've gotten my fair share of them!

Mmmmmmm, smores. I did not have time to get my fire pit out this summer, so I had to settle for smores from the microwave. Almost as good.

Shame on you for not following the rules. LOL! At least your punishment was only $15.

Yeah, are you going to follow the rules this time! hehe

My dad used to put the tent up for me and my friends and we would sleep out back for a couple of days each time. We had so much fun!

Haa Haa! I love the "are you going to follow the rules this time?" Think the kids have/will hear that a few times in their lifetime? LOL

The camping trip looked like a great time!
