Have you ever cut potatoes with a plastic fork?

We went on the first camping trip of the season on Wednesday. We just stayed over night and came home Thursday morning. It was really fun! I was kind of surprised at how much fun it actually was. I used to not be a big fan of roughing it. I am now. We just had our tent and a fire.
Wednesday night we had after playing on a fallen tree and wading in the creek we had some dutch oven chicken and potatoes. Mike forgot to tell me what I needed to bring for him to cook. I brought all the stuff for my breakfast so I just figured he would get the stuff he needed for dinner. I was wrong. We had all the food we needed but we didn't have any of the utensils. Like a knife to cut the potatoes with. I did bring some plastic knifes and so that is what I used to cut up the potatoes. It sucked! By the fourth potato I was done. Luckily that was enough to feed us. I had a small blister on my finger that was barely worth mentioning. I also forgot the spatula to turn the chicken so Mike used the whisk I was planning on using for breakfast. Oh well, none of that really matters because dinner was freaking fantastic! We roaster marshmallows after dinner and then rode the wheelers until the sun set.
Once the kids were in bed Mike and I stayed up playing a bubble popping game on his phone. It sounds pretty lame but we had fun! 
We got up the next morning and I made orange muffins.  We made these at girls camp when I was in Young Women's . They turned out so good. They even looked pretty! 
We then took the kids on another wheeler ride. We went through the creek and Jercie fell in. She was haulin' some major a$$ and was getting wet. She turned and went right into the drink. She cried and we laughed. She was fine just a little wet. Mike and I got stuck twice in the creek. Kaia was on with us. She was ticked when she and I had to get off while Mike got us out. All she wanted to do was ride the wheelers. 





After our ride we packed up camp and came home. It really was fun and I can't wait to do it again.
