Last weekend we went camping with some people from our ward. We went to the Tiger Safari Park. It was a lot of fun! We cooked dinner and then went on a hay ride (twice!). After which one of the employees took us to play with the baby animals. We saw a chinchilla, baby fox, a baby lemur, and my favorite - a baby kangaroo. I want one! Ethan really liked the animals. We let him touch the kangaroo and lemur. We roasted marshmallows, made smores, and had a great time! The next morning Jeff Poyner made a great breakfast with the dutch oven (yummy!). We also went on a tour of the park and saw a ton of animals. Ethan did NOT like the big turtle. He preferred his friend, the kangaroo.

Jeff wasn't feeling real good. He had what at the time we thought was a strained back/ arm / shoulder, which turned out to be a torn muscle in his back and one around his shoulder. He was pretty miserable and we ended up not finishing the animal tour. But despite his pain, we had a ton of fun! Ethan slept great, even in the cold. We left the tent top wide open so we could stare at the stars, which we did all night. It was awesome! The weather was PERFECT! I can't wait to go camping again!!!
