You can take a Kryn camping.

My friends all doubted my camping abilities. Somehow the fact that I wear skirts and dresses 100% of the time clouded their judgement. You know, I did grow up in Montana and all. But no! Skirts trump childhood experiences. Would I be able to sleep in a tent? Swim in Alligator infested waters? Go without internet?!

YES!

Ironically enough, the father daughter camping trip did not involve my father. He was in Paris. I was in a canoe with one of my dearest friends. And it worked out well enough! (He was supporting my rather unhealthy shopping habits, I caching up on all the things I am oblivious too in our circles.)

 I've been friends with MaryHelen for a while now but we've actually never gotten a decent photo together! Thankfully thanks to our superior self timer skills we got quite a few this weekend. MaryHelen has a heart of gold and (and for God!) and I was so BLESSED to be able to be with her. I swear, she's a saint.

It's a long story....but I couln't remember canoeing before. MH was new too which meant our chances of tipping were much higher. But! We navigated alligator infested waters without getting any of our belongings wet, mild spider bites and no terrible sunburns (and feeding wild monkeys!) At one point we turned on some music and sang as we paddled (slowly) along. It was quite magical.

So can Kryn camp? The answer is HECK YES. Can she do it with a gold watch on? HECK YES. And sure,  I could have done without the tick or the chigger bites. But the tan I got? Makes it all worth it. (and the memories we made....those too ;))

that last one was really awkward.

Update #2

Yes, I'm posting about Make your own holiday again. I asked quite a few people and I have gotten some responses. I am hoping for more, so if you have any ideas please leave it in a comment.

Here's what's in the running (PS: If you emailed a suggestion that is not on the list, its probably because that is already a holiday.)

• Iron Chef Day
• Give your dog (or pet) a manicure day
• Minecraft day 
• Tomboy day
• Pamper Yourself day
• Count your freckles day (was this already a holiday?)
• Sports day

Please, please, please come up with some more great ones!

Oh, and while I'm not sitting in a dark hospital room, I still think this needs something fun...

 

The mirror in the bathroom at the campground we stayed at was obviously weird. It was so funny just to stand and try all these really weird poses. It was hilarious. Happy day!
