Michael and I have been trying to go camping for a while now... ever since Labor Day weekend. Every week something comes up: bad weather, sickness, birthday parties, etc...
Finally, this week, we were able to go. Yay! After he was done at karate, Michael took me to a camping spot his family likes to go to. To get there we had to take a dirt road. As we were driving along, we found ourselves caught up in a herd of deer. They were literally running right next to us. I've never seen that many deer in one place before! It was really neat.
When we arrived it was already dark. Poor Michael started a fire and set up our tent using our phones as flashlights.He did a great job. We roasted hot dogs over the campfire for dinner. We also roasted marshmallows and made s'mores (debateably the best thing about camping.)
Here's our Campfire :) Thanks dad for the firewood!
Our tent made my hair all staticy. Ha ha
Because it was dark when we arrived, I wasn't able to see the true beauty of our campsite until morning. It was the best campsite ever! We were right next to a river and the leaves have already started to change color. I love fall!
Pretty Red Tree
Here's our campsite.
This is our little two man tent. Michael really wanted to bring his dog with us... There's no way there would be any room for him in there. Even if there was, I would rather sleep in the car than with Koda.
We practiced with our bokkens this morning, much to the disturbance of the squirrel below.
He would race across the road, run up a tree and bark at us. He would then run back again only to repeat the cycle a few minutes later.
I had such a fun time camping with my husband. Hopefully we'll be able go camping more often next year.
