Birthdays

Andrew and I both have summer birthdays. Mine comes first, which makes me older than Andrew for two weeks(the rest of the year we're the same age:)). For my birthday, I received some beautiful flowers from my parents and Andrew.

Andrew also treated me to a birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Then we went over to our friends for cake. Cathi made an amazing cake. It looked yummy and tasted even better. Thanks Bryce, Cathi, Cody, Meagan, and Andrew for celebrating with me!!

For Andrew's birthday, we decided to go camping at Cunningham Falls State Park. It had been stormy, so we just decided to reserve a camper cabin.

It was very dirty, but we stayed dry and made the best of it. We hiked to see the waterfall,...

waded in the lake,...

played some games, and read outside.


















Then we decided it was time for dinner. After two hours, a magazine, half a roll of paper towels, a few paper plates, a trip to the camp store for "dry" firewood, lighter fluid from neighboring camp, a 2nd trip to the camp store for a fire starter log, and half a box of matches, what did we get?...We finally got a fire big enough that lasted just long enough for us to roast our hot dogs and marshmallows.














Overall, it was a fun camping trip, but next time we'll go a little more prepared to light a fire when it has been raining. A few days later, we invited friends over for cake.
