Blog Entry Summary:
The kids and I ventured into the wild this weekend with some great friends and set up camp. They brought along their cozy camper trailor ( Ben referred to it as their cabin) and we set up our tent ......
On Friday, hot and sticky, we loaded up the SUV and set out in 30 C degree weather ....
Thus began our adventure ....
We crossed hills, rivers and even took a ferry boat to our destination ......
Once there, we scouted out the best site and began to unload all our goodies .....
The weather was superb up until Saturday BUT somewhere along the line ( 5:45pm to be exact) the heavens opened up and unloaded buckets and buckets and buckets of H2O.
Yes, it rained all of Saturday pm and all through the night . (Did you know that rain drops on a tent covered by a tarp are pretty noisy ??? If you didn't know ....I can tell you that they certainally are :) and believe it or not, the kids slept through it all .......
Needless to say, Mommy did not ..... :)
Rain or shine though , it was an adventure .....and ours to own. Besides, we were warm and dry and snug as a bug in our cozy little tent although, on the way home today Ben said ..."you know Mom ...we should get a cabin like our friends".
So much for roughing it ......:)
