As Promised......our CAMPING TRIP!!!





    So as you already know from the post above that my family and I attempted camping for one night. I'm here to tell you that we all survived. We actually had a lot of fun. Though the ride up took an hour and we were all cramed into my dad's pick-up( we took all the motorcycles.)So finally after the torturous one hour drive we made it to the campground. We all jumped out and kissed the ground(not really I praised it from afar.)We all then scarfed down a gourmet meal of steaks or hotdogs and watermelon. We even had mashed potatoes and amazing gravy(Thank you Jamie!)Meagan and I then hiked the half mile to the not so amazing bathroom. I absoulutely hate porta potties. They give me the willies. By the time we got back the rest of my family had all the hard work done of pitching the tent. We then got out the roasting sticks and made smores and roasted marshmellows. Clint made peach cobbler for those of us brave enough to try it. Just joking it was amazing. When we finished stuffing ourselves with marshmellow goo,I led the kids in some arousing girls camp dances like: The Banana Song & Lil Sally Walker or Bobby Walker for the guys. We probably drove our camping neighbors crazy. Us girls then all braved the bathroom once again but in the dark,it was frightning. The night was pretty uninteresting except for it being freezing and Garret waking up everyone saying "MOM help I'm stuck in my sleeping bag!"We woke up and had breakfast and then my dad and Clint decided to take Michael and I on a trail ride. Me attempting to do it on my 80. There were huge rocks all along the trail it was terrifying, not to mention I had michael behind me on the 4 wheeler. The dads after getting us safely through left to go check out another trail and see if they could take us on it later. meanwhile Michael, Meagan and I went on the trail a couple more times and then we took the two other girls. We only got to the two girls cause I slammed my foot into a huge rock while going at least 20 or 30 miles. We quickly cleaned up camp and finally My dad,Clint, Michael,Meagan, and I went on one last trail ride and then we all headed home. I fell asleep as soon as I hit my bed and slept till nine the next morning.(as you can see from above some of us didn't even make it home)
