"Let's go camping," Kevin said enthusiastically after receiving camping gear for Christmas.
"Yes, that will be so fun in the summer!" I replied.
"No, like next weekend."
Ummm, did Kevin know he didn't marry someone quite so adventurous? So, we compromised. We went up to make a fire and dinner in our dutch oven. He whittled a long stick so we could roast teriyaki chicken. It was quite tasty . . . albeit a bit chilly.
Of course we went in and out of the house a few times to get all the supplies we needed. And the last trip in proved fateful because I FORGOT MY GLOVES! Brrr. At least we found some grungy work gloves in the truck and I didn't totally freeze.
We made cheesy potatoes in the dutch oven (thank you Aunt DeLoris!) and tried to stay warm while eating and listening to music. It was a grand evening. And I'm pretty sure it took an hour after we got home that night with the heater blasting and me in 10 layers of sweats before I stopped shivering. Maybe eating ice cream after we got home wasn't the best idea . . .

I just knew that big hood would come in handy for you someday!
Those cheesy potatoes look yummy :)
I want some!
You definitely need to go camping in the winter. You will never thing about the pioneers crossing the continent in the winter the same.
In the end, one must learn to control ones carnal and physical appetites, including the appetite for extreme amounts of heat (by historical standards), in order to overcome one's self. I have faith in you--I know you can do it.
I will look forward to future blog postings about your night camping in the winter. To start, chose a place about the same elevation as Provo so you dont get such extreme temperatures as up the canyon. Then, go up the canyon. You will be proud of yourself for having overcome a physical barrier to freedom from everything.
Also, doing it helps foster creativity in how to stay warm. It is very possible to have a very pleasant camping trip when it is cold, as long as one is properly prepared.
I just noticed a tennis show in the picture with the potatoes. Improper clothing will defiantly make for a miserable experience.
