Gone "Camping"

The family trip took us to Idaho for a week... The first day was spent driving (5 hours) and then setting up camp. My grandma had gotten the family several cabins so me and my other (girl) cousins all stayed in one cabin with one of my Aunts and Uncles. There where 4 of us(including me)in the loft area, two on a pull-out bed downstairs and my Aunt and Uncle in a private room. It was nice, I shared a bed with one of my favorite cousins and the other two cousins were family I had (sadly)never met. As I travel and move quite a bit during the years of my life, sometimes I miss out on seeing family and meeting new members. It comes with being me. A Gypsy. More specifically, a shy-LDS Gypsy. Sometimes I don't know where to call home!

Anyway-back to my post...
The second day, we went rafting and tubing down the river in the morning and I spent the afternoon taking a 4 hour nap and a shower. I should probably mention that I fell off of the raft... and my brother steped into a giant whole, and my sister nearly drowned, my unlce lost s paddle, and going back to get it lost a shoe and We had to help quite a few of my cousins (and brother) get out of tangles while they were tubing. It was quite an adventure! It took us a grand total of 4 hours to go down the river.
That night, we went and saw "Home School Musical" it was a good show, it made fun of High School Musical, Napolian Dynamite, Homeschooling, Mormons, BYU (Cougars) and Twilite. It included characters such as
"Lanolium Dynamite"
"Amanda Hugandkiss"
"Zac Tefelon"
It was an amazing show! They did such a great job! At one point they chose my Uncle to be part of the show and we will never let him forget it!
At halftime, they asked people if there were any upcoming birthdays and my family singled me out since I was turing 16 and the man/lady asked me my name and I told her, and she said"Darcie, spelled D-A-R-C-Y?"
I respnded saying: "No, I-E"
She/he sayed: "Don't you correct me young lady!"
It was really funny, I was sang to along with 6 or 7 others and was given a clown nose. My cousin recieved a make-up brush, and one kid got a lysol can lid! It was my favorite night there!

The next few days were spent in Yellowstone and seeing wildlife, It too was fun!

All in all, although not really camping, it was fun... except the bed, because I think mine had bed-bugs in it!
