Maren was completely thrilled to find out that our ward would have a daddy/daughter campout this year. I was thrilled, too. She needs that special time with Dad and I needed the time with the boys. Well, Evan mostly. But Parker is always a fun date.
They said everything went great...except the movie projected onto the sheet outside. Should've been a good time, right? Until Maren saw that the movie was (drum roll) Tangled! Yes, Tangled. Every little girl's dream movie, except mine. For some reason she is horrified by that movie. HATES it. I think it's because the villain is hiding under the guise of being the princess's mother. Sometimes she acts motherly but then she turns cold and mean. I think that's why it affects her so much. It's not like she's overly scared of Ursula or Scar or any of the other Disney villains. Anyway, apparently when it showed up on the screen she started screaming and crying her eyes out so Michael had to take her inside for the next hour and a half to do something else with her. Ha ha!
Michael had this fun idea to take a bunch of nail polish and get all the dads to do their girl's finger nails and toe nails. Unfortunately, they ran out of time so Michael came home and did Maren's anyway. He loves to do that kind of stuff. When I was pregnant with Evan and my two BFFs were also pregnant, all three couples got together for dinner here at our house and Michael pulled out some foot soak baths and had all the husband do pedicures on their pregnant wives. Ha ha! I'm not sure what the other husbands thought of that but I thought Michael was pretty studly. :-)
Despite the movie fiasco, it would be safe to say that both Maren and Michael can't wait for next year to do it all again.
