Camping in Utah may have awarded us with mountains, rivers, and scenic vistas ... but it never included a day at the beach and a production of Cinderella in the same trip!
On Saturday, the Edwards headed over to Shawnee Mission Park (about 30 minutes from home) to take part in the Great American Family Campout. At our check in, we were given our packet that included all-day passes to the beach. We plastered on the sun screen and sunk our toes into the sand as we enjoyed our escape from the brutal heat of summer. Suddenly, the humidity didn't seem so bad. Tyson dove for muscle shells (he called them clams) and Paige spent most of her time chilling with a book.
We opted to head over to Subway for dinner (a sure sign that this wasn't a typical camping trip). For entertainment, watch Tyson order a sandwich. Let's just say that he struggles with so many choices.
Back in the park, we walked from our tent over to the Theater in the Park to join thousands of others for a production of Cinderella. It was lovely.
While most of the other attendees headed for their cars when the show was over (around 11pm), we walked back to our tent. Despite the fact that the sun went down hours ago, the heat and humidity remained fully intact. No need for sleeping bags. No need to close the door. In fact, no need for the tent ... oh wait, bugs.
Church starts at 9am on Sunday mornings (always has, always will) ... which meant that we were up at the crack of dawn to head back home ... shower ... eat ... and yet we still made it to church on time. Yaaawwwwwwwwnnnn.
