Weekend!

Ok so where to start? My weekend was rather easy and laid back but yet again i was hardly home. Friday the family did a camp out thing at a park for the ward. We got there shortly after work and got all set up. Had dinner and then the scouts did their program for us. After wards those who weren't sleeping over left and the rest of us did what ever. I had to go to the bathroom and refused to use the porta potty, so Brook had said that there was a working one down the way a bit with lights and everything so i took a friend with us and half way there in the dark we freaked cause we heard something. We turned around and ran back as fast as we could. Then we still wanted a potty and so we made her brother come with us so that we had a man with us. (not always the best thing or most brave of people) We were standing just inches away from the barn door for the bathrooms and we heard something again. Al turned his light tward it and saw two eyes hovering above the ground at about knee hight. He started in a paniced voice "I see eyes" and then his words flew... we got scared and he was willing to go in the bathroom with us, but we were all scared of comming back out. Barb was already running and that made our minds up. We all started running while al was pulling his girlfriend in front and told us that we would be the bait. We (barb and i) looked at each other and pushed our legs faster. we got a head of al and were screaming panic. Al thought it would be funny to start howling like a dog and then he started barking as well. All us girls turned on him and barb threatened to beat him up. She is bigger than he is and stronger as well, she could cream him. She punched him in the arm seriously and told him never to do that again. Later that night after we had run all the way back to the camp area i was sitting with some guys listening to music and talking. It was like 1am or 1 30 am and we were sitting at the tables out in the open with all the open food sitting on the tables surrounding us. The fresh smell of smores still lingering in the smoke of the dimming fire. We heard howling and it was a pack of cyotes. The sound was coming from the left where all the cars where. My car (where i would be sleeping that night) was in the front of the line, the first car facing these dogs. I freaked out and said "ok boys thats my cue to go to bed im not sleeping out here tonight and i need some help getting to my car! Take me up there please?" These boys are sweet and good to girls and they both walked me up there and made sure i was snug in my car with the door locked and shut. As they walked away i turned on my headlights to frighten them away and see if i could see them. Blinding against the trees i couldn't see anything. Just the reflecting light off the trees. It was cold and my family had taken the sleeping bag that was meant for me and put it in the tent. Why im not really sure but i had nothing in the car with me to keep me warm. I just cuddled myself and tried to fall asleep. Three am came along and i woke cause i still had not gone to the bathroom. I was still frightened to get out of my car so i had my phone and i was the only one who had service up at this spot. I called my mom (she has the same phone as me so she had service too!) and woke her up. "Mommy can you come get me? I need to go potty and i am too scared to get out of my car alone. I really need to go, i havent gone all night long." With a tired iritation she agreed and i sat there looking for her and watching her aproach me. I jumped out the car and we practically ran down the hill to the porta potty. We heard something in the bushes on the way and i ran after that. The door to the potty i left open so i could see and keep an eye out for what might be coming my way. I ran up to the campsite and was going to get the sleeping bag. I jumped and yelped cause a scurrying skunk was running from the site. I ran to the car after that and slept so well in my car. Nice and toasty. Saturday afternoon i took a shower only to return to the same park to go on a hike with Jake. We did the hike, watched the sun set, took me to dinner, went shopping for us both, and that was our night. Sunday was church, break the fast, and then a display at the temple. Nice time to talk and just enjoy being together. Thats my weekend and break time is far over so i need to go and hope you all have a good day!
