Overnight Campout

So we decided to go camping just for one night. We use to go camping all the time but this year we really didn't get to go at all. I have a compulsive disorder that sometimes I cannot control and when we are doing something fun I want to invite everyone I talk to! So we went with the Tongi's and the the Sas and BF. Oh and we didn't forget to bring my gangsta baby.

Luckily my "lumberjack" husband brought up his chainsaw (that unexpectedly stopped working) and his axe. What a mountain man!

Who wants smores? They do!

There was a lot of setting up and taking down and a little bit of rain....Ok a lot of rain.... all night. And I could not have felt worse when we woke up in the morning to find that the tent that was borrowed from my mom for the tongis was not so waterproof! I know! How could I let them use a tent that leaked right? In my (and my mom's) defense I had no idea that the tarps in the tent bag were to waterproof the tent, we assumed that it was just a nice doormat to leave shoes on outside the tent. We were obviously wrong.
It did take a little longer to get the food going then we had anticipated thanks in part to wet fire wood. Thanks again to my hubby (and some extra gas that we had for the chainsaw, I know, not very smart but we were freezing and this was the last resort to getting our fire going to make breakfast. Do not try this at home.) we recovered quickly, got a fire started finally, and packed up most of camp then....yum...breakfast!

Breakfast while camping always tastes so yummy, is that because of all the hard work it takes or because of that added flavor from the ash melting onto the food? Either way, it was delish!

All in all we had a lot of fun and we know not to ever assume that a tent is waterproof or that it won't rain!

  1. We had a GrEat time, even though we were soaked... all our clothes were used to soak up the puddles and keep Caydance & Lisiate Jr. kinda dry! Really though! These are the fun MeMoRieS!
