Zabriskie Campin'

At the beginning of August we went camping with the Zabriskies-or at least we tried to. Since Koby was at a scout leadership camp until Saturday, Maylee and I stayed home and waited for him to get home while Morgan and Steve left on Friday afternoon. We went to American Fork canyon so it wasn't too far away but it sure is beautiful! On Saturday afternoon we were able to head up to camp-we unpacked everything and then hung out at the lake. It was a lot of fun. Later we were all sitting around playing bingo when Maylee fell off the picnic bench and hit her head on the asphalt. It was such a loud bang and she cried for quite a while. Then she seemed fine and played for about an hour until she started throwing up and acting loopy. Everyone was pretty sure that she had a concussion and the advise I received was to wake her up every two hours during the night to keep a close eye on her. I decided that if I had to do that I might as well go home. Koby told me that he would like to come with me so that he could go to church and I agreed thinking it would be nice to have some help with Maylee. Steve and Morgan decided to stay another night. On our way home I started calling all of the nurses in our family and was finally able to get a hold of Tara. She told me not to let her sleep until about 6-8 hrs after she fell and then she should be fine. At that moment, Maylee was asleep so Koby and I immediately tried to wake her up but she wasn't having any of that! Finally we had to pull off the freeway at a gas station, we made her walk around and then she drank a slurpee. It was still hard but we kept her awake and she ended up being fine. Thank goodness! In the meantime back at camp, Morgan got sick and started throwing up in the middle of the night. We think she either got too much sun during the day or had altitude sickness. Poor Steve had to take care of all the puke. Here are some pictures that were taken before all of the drama.
