last summer kevin and i went with our good friends, the woods family (joellen, cody, ethan, and gavin) on a couple of camping trips. right when the weather was getting a little warm (ok, try an unbearable, sizzling, 115* warm) we headed right out of town and retreated to the cooler mountains. our first camping trip we went to fossil springs. after chowin' down some good grub (the woods sure no how to fire up some tin-foil dinners--and kev and i threw in some mediocre peach cobbler and french toast in the morning) the next day, we went on a little hike that followed a stream down fossil springs canyon. as joellen and i were relaxing and eating lunch with her kids, and kevin and cody were off doing boy stuff in the river, lo and behold, a friendly but suspicious little (ok, a bit bigger than little, but whatever) passerby approached us wearing a 4-sizes-too-small bikini and a towel in her arms. out of nowhere she asks "do you mind if we go skinny-dipping here?" referring to her and her husband/brother/boytoy/who knows. wow. for many reasons not mentioned but mainly for the fact that i would have loved to keep down the pb&j i just consumed (nudy girl's beau was not in any better shape than her...not that if they were it would have been ok), i just said "you know, we're leaving in a few minutes, and for the boy's sake (joellen's 2 boys...and i guess for kevin's and cody's sake--although it would have been funny to shock them with 2 larger than life skinny dippers crashing their cliff diving party) we would prefer if they waited a little bit." she was cool and waited, and my stomach stopped churning. pretty fun times.
