Highland Blast: Camping

We went camping for Day 2. We decided on Salamander Flats up American Fork Canyon. Free camping. The kids went fishing with Rhett while Molly, John (her buddy) and I set up camp. They didn't catch anything, which was too bad. It rained all afternoon, so it was wet and muddy. We got a fire started and the menu was pretty simple: hot dogs, chips, and smores. But I forgot the ketchup/ mustard. I heard some complaints but they ate them dry. We roasted Starburst, and burned a lot of stuff.

Despite some bad weather and me forgetting a lot of important food items, we had fun. The next morning we all sat around eating breakfast and Rhett played his guitar as we made up songs, taking turns filling in words as Rhett played along. Some turned out really funny, my favorite was "Quilly...the porcupine that felt strong."

This is a marshmellow melted on my bum.

But the BEST part of this camping trip was....

I saw someone wearing my Chemistry sweatshirt in public!! Well sort of public, up the mountain. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a gray sleeve with "VARSITY" printed on it. what? What? WHAT? Oh ya, my lame sweatshirt lives on. I immediately began ignoring Molly's story she was telling and instead got this stalker shot of this person. The lightening bolt points to her.If you forgot or never knew the history behind the sweatshirt, read about it here.

(Rhett's eyes will roll at me indirectly telling this story AGAIN!)

PS. No that is not my Chemistry sweatshirt, I still have mine. This just meant that this person was in AP Chemistry at LPHS in 2003, or had a sibling, friend, or DI donor who was.

I got so excited about seeing this girl in it, maybe I should have a lookout and see if we can spot more. If you have one yourself, you should feel lucky. Very lucky. Maybe I should give something great to people who I see wearing one, or who post a photo of themselves wearing one on their blog or facebook....hmmm. Or maybe I need to get a life.
