A Camping we did go..

So, camping is not a past-time yet in our household. We have been as a family a total of 2 times, including our trip this last weekend. Our great friends invited us to come join in their fun on the Rim. We agreed. We brought all the right camping gear and enough food to last a few more days longer. The first days weather could not have been better. Warm and sunny and cool at night once the sun went down. We made the traditional tin foil dinners and smores and everyone was having a blast. We slept the first night in our tent and the wind blew and howled something fierce. John had kind of a rough night, but the rest of us slept great! (Sorry, sweetie.) Our friends have a trailer, so of course they were just fine. The wind never seemed to let up for the whole day. We were determined not to let that stop us, so we pack up some fishing gear and headed for the lake. The fishing was only slightly successful with the catch being a crawdad (sp?) and a small trout. The kids rode bikes, played sardines (backwards hide & seek), and even shot a BB gun. Once the sun set on our second night, we scrambled for the indoors of the trailer. We enjoyed some fantastic food, some great games and then we manuevered the sleeping arrangements to fit our family of 4 into our friend's trailer. We are so grateful for the toasty night's sleep because it was around 19 degrees in the morning! Anyhow, fun was had by all and we might even consider going again!
