Car Wash & Camping

Two weeks. We know. But, we have two great topics with pictures to show. Last week Derek was wanting to wash his truck. Of course Maeley loves to help dad and got her swimsuit on to get out and wash. Well, Derek's parents have a black car that Maeley has claimed as her own. She decided that while washing dad's truck that she needed to get her car clean as well. Needless to say she ended up washing more of her own car than with helping dad wash his truck. Oh well, hopefully she still likes doing that when she really has her own car. So here are some pictures of the fun time had by all, since Melanie and Chase decided to come out and participate to an extent.


Washing "me black car" (as Maeley would say)
Yup, just too darn cute.
Chase helping dad get that truck clean.
The tracks just made us laugh.

This last weekend Chase, Derek and Derek's dad went on the ward "Fathers and Sons" campout. First of all, Chase is only 9 months old, so Derek had a lot of people telling him he was a brave soul for bringing such a young kid along. The truth was, Chase was the only kid NOT throwing stuff into the fire, getting into the water, whining, and just plain being a pain. Chase was great! He is the best camping buddy ever. It got to be a little chilly, but Chase slept right on through the night without a peep. Can't wait until the next campout, hopefully with mom and Maeley this time.



Dad! Hurry and get that tent set up!

This is the most delicious stick ever!
