Camping weekend.

So we went camping in this place called Oak Grove in the Dixie National Forest on Friday night.  It is about 25 miles from here, but the last 8 are all dirt roads (so I drove about 3 miles an hour for a 3 hour trip).  It was really cool, and Melanie had a blast.  Here are some pictures.  She loved putting rocks and dirt into the bucket..












And then promptly spilling both all over herself...












Yep, that'll make your hands dirty.  And shoes.  And clothes.  And hair.  Seriously, look at her shoes, they were pink at one time.












Sitting by the fire eating breakfast with momma...










Also, here are a couple videos.  
First, Melanie (I guess Brittany) got a child carrier.  She loved spinning in circles.
Also, here is a video of Melanie climbing while camping.  Just so we know she has some Chamberlain genes in her.

Ready....go

So, Melanie was playing this game with Brittany where she would stand on Brittany's hands.  She would say, "Ready.....go" when she wanted to start.  It was pretty funny, so I tried to get a video of it.

Here is the first attempt.  You can hear her asking what dadn is doing with the camera before hand.  Once I had filmed it, I uploaded it to the computer to make sure that it worked, and realized that I had the camera tipped as if I were taking a picture.  I said, "dangit" and Melanie instantly starting saying it back.  I don't know how you people can't laugh when kid say something like this.  

Anyway, here is the second attempt at filming her saying, "ready...go."  

Judge all you want about the language around a kid, I think it is funny.
