Camping

Last weekend we decided we wanted to go camping. The plan was that Chris and I would go and find a spot Friday night after work and then Jeremy and Jared would come and join us on Saturday. So, Friday night Chris and I packed up and headed out. We went up Highway 101 and stopped at 5 different camp sites and they were all FULL. By this time it was getting dark and we had promised Allison we would go camping, so after 4 hours we ended up in my parents backyard and stayed the night - not exactly what we had planned, but still fun.

The next day, we thought we would try again. This time we went with Jeremy and Jared and headed up to Wynoochie. We got there and it was packed! There are two loops - the first loop was completely full, so we thought we would quickly check the other loop - we thought we were out of luck when the very LAST spot was empty. There was some ice dumped out so we knew someone had just recently left - I don't know how we lucked out! We had wanted to try and camp somewhere else this time, but once again, Wynoochie saved us - we don't mind really, it is gorgeous up there! After we set up camp, we decided to head down to the lake - it was a zoo! We finally found a quiet spot and spent a little bit of time throwing rocks in the water.

How does she always end up with no pants on?

We quickly got bored with the lake and all of the people, so we headed out to find a nice spot up above the lake on the river. We had to wade across the water to get where we wanted, but it was worth it - so beautiful!

Allison and Jared and such cute cousins!

Allison loved Jeremy's hat and played with it for awhile.

She thought she was so cool!

After that the battery died on my camera. We headed back to camp and enjoyed the evening around the fire - and tons of food! It was the perfect weather for camping - I didn't even need my sleeping bag. I've never slept so good while camping!

The next morning we got up and the guys made us a HUGE breakfast. So yummy! We packed up and headed back home. What a great weekend!
