Our Camping Trip








Jon and I went camping last weekend with Jenny. It was the first time Jon and I had ever gone together. We had such a fun time.
We left a little late Friday to get out their due to jobs but thought we'd still be able to find a camping spot. Each campsite was completely full, we ended up driving in search of a place to sleep until sometime after 9:00. We didn't realize at the time that the next day was the opening day for some hunting season. It was completely dark when we finally found our own little place. We were able to get the tent up pretty quickly though considering we had to work in the dark. It was a fun night. Jon started a great fire for us all to roast our hot dogs.
It rained just a tiny bit the next morning. I'm glad it happened then rather than earlier. Jenny and I made ourselves some "tasty" tin-foil breakfasts. I think we cooked them a little long. We ended up sharing only one, and even then we could only pick out part of our food to eat. It was quite funny to us. It's things like that that help make it a good experience to remember.
We tried to go fishing that day but didn't have much luck. I think we were a little impatient and honestly, just didn't really know what we were doing! hahaha That's alright though. I was grateful I could at least remember how to correctly cast out the line, sadly I just couldn't get it out very far. Oh well. I met some old cute couples that looked like they knew what they were doing. They invited us to join them so they could help us figure things out, but Jon and Jenny weren't interested. They were ready to go home. I guess I'll just have to go with Dad sometime, maybe when we have our own little boy or girl to learn too. Jon doesn't really care for fishing, he hates the best part; touching and messing with the fish. Oh well. We all still had a wonderful time! It was nice to go camping again. I am especially grateful for the good people in our ward who were so nice to let us borrow so much camping stuff. And thank you Dad for letting us borrow the fishing stuff!

Hey Kristin, I haven't been able to check your blog for a bit so this was great to catch up. Your trip sounded fun and I'm jealous. Something about a campfire that I just love. :)
love you!
