Is that tent for your dog?

Camping...oh camping. No TVs, no radios, no cell service, no 3G network to instagram and facebook, no people, no noise, peace + quiet. You + Nature.

HAHA!

Not exactly...We made our reservations really late because this trip was a little last minute, so we literally reserved the last camping site in the whole camp ground. Our night in the outdoors consisted of us sitting by our raging fire, on our camp site that had no trees or privacy, listening to our neighboor's generator, and laughing at comments of every punk kid that walked by our tent.

"Mommy, I hope they go to bed soon. But I don't know where they're going to sleep"
"Is that tent for your dog?"
"How many of you really fit in there? THREE?!"
"Did you have to bend your knees?"
"Mommy, are those girls poor?"

On the bright side, Ashley saved the day with her fire making skills, Alex made some great chicken for dinner (impressive!!), and we had giant marshmellows + wine coolors. Oh, and we fit into a 5x5 tent....So really, whats not to love!?

We made alot of memories and laughs and learned a few lessons for next time. 1. Reserve your camp site early. 2. Bring a bigger than 5x5 tent for 3 people & 4. Get some coals that don't take 2 hours to heat up!

 Lots and Lots of lighter fluid...
