Cliff-Notes of my mother's day camping trip:
First, & before we got out of dodge: a Subaru with 10 escaped baby chicks all over, in and out of it, will make a loud cheeping noise but the noise goes away when you recapture them & hand them off to the friend who happily agreed to watch 3 chicks over night & ended up with 10.
And on the way there: telling Beach if you catch it you can keep it is a bad idea. Yep, that is a sheep. We made her put it back & no one died of over exposure except for the photo.
She had her eye on this little guy too.
But in the end she settled for 2 lizards and a horny toad.
In the not-so-great category mosquitoes bite. Never had the pleasure of mosquitoes in this neck of the desert even with the hot springs.
We blame the Alex-es.
Factoid:
Tents do not come with cattle guards but maybe they should.
FYI:
Telling 2 screeching girls to 'just ignore' the field of spiders does not work, but asking them if they would 'rather stay where they are in the field of spiders or move away from them', seems to work really well.
~So not okay~
No pic's of the actual spider field
I was too busy freaking out!!!
Definitely on the good side:
Beach can sleep in a box after 4 hrs of gymnastics, some animal wrangling, & a 3 hr soak in a hot pot.
...And not sure how I feel about this but turns out my
dog might be French.
Last but not least, I was in the desert with people I loved and all those freaky spiders >o< for mom's day!
I am not sure about you, but I had no problem with spiders when I was a kid, but now I need my husband to handle them for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to celebrate Mother's Day!
