a couple of weekends ago was the annual church campout. for the first time our schedules were such that we could attend. now i have to say that while i am a fan of the camping activities - i do not enjoy sleeping in a tent. part of this might just be because i am not used to it. in all the years that we have been married this was only my 4th time going camping. larry says it's technically the 3rd, but i'm counting the time that we went to moab, slept in char's unfinished house out in the desert with no electricity or running water moments after killing a rattlesnake and a black widow as a camping trip. that's getting up close and personal with nature folks. no way around it. anyway - back to the current camping story. since i decided in the middle of the night to forgo the tent and climbed into the car for a peaceful slumber many of you think that i am not into camping. that simply is not so! i really do enjoy it. i just can't sleep in that stupid tent!! so next time i'm just going to start out in the car, pure and simple! so don't judge me you sleeping bag snugglers and tent lovers. let me be one with nature in my own ridiculous and unconventional way ;)
one of my favorite pictures from the trip is this one of my friend olivia and her hubby packing up their car. how they managed to fit all that stuff plus 2 kids and themselves is still a mystery to me.
before heading home we went fishing with some friends of ours. the creek was cold but the kids loved it. right after this picture was taken brooke slipped and smacked her nose on the big rock over there causing a massive bloody nose. it's not camping unless there's a bleeder.

the roberts brought louie which was great for us because he can entertain lily for hours.all in all it was a great camping trip. hopefully the next one will be sooner rather than later.

Glad you went. Sounds like the car thing isn't a bad idea.
It was fun, I love the pictures!
Hey, you finished the camping blog entry! =)
I have to admit that I hate to sleep in a tent as well, I should try your car method...
We had a lot of fun hanging out with you guys.
Yes, moab definitely counts! Anytime you are at risk of being killed by snakes and spiders while you sleep should qualify as camping. :)
You need to read the post about camoing from the "stuff white people like" blog. IT is hilarious. I'll email it to you. We had a fun time, didn't we. Well, except when I was all hung over from my Tylenol Pm. "Is it dizzy in here, or is it just me?" LoL!
