Camping on a wim...!

"Where are you guys taking me?"

This was taken when we first arrived at the campsite.


Me and Ty waiting for Cory to come back with fire wood.

Cute picture of Cory and Tyler.

What a macho man!!?

Here's the branch, log, or tree that Cory found for firewood. I don't know what exactly to call it. It was a huge peice of wood.

Look closely, Cory has a ghostie on his shoulder.

It's starting to get a bit chilly out here.

Here's our cute little tent. It was way easy to set up. Our air-mattress even fits inside. Perfect.

The other day Cory said to me, "You know dear, I have the day off tomorrow, do you want to go camping?" And I said, "Sure lets leave right now." So, that's how our camping trip all started. Cory was running amuck hrough the whole house trying to get things together and organized for our outing. AndI was sitting there asking myself, "What have I gotten myself into?" A few hours later we were off to Willow Flats which was just an 1 1/2 hours away. The campsite was gorgeous. We were surrounded by trees and fresh air. And there was even a little creek that flowed through the camp grounds. We set up our tent and walked around afterwords. Tyler just kept staring at the trees and he wanted to play in the dirt. We zipped him up in the tent a few times so he wouldn't get too dirty. We had to look for fire wood and Cory left for a few minutes and then comes walking up with a huge tree branch over his head. It was pretty funny. He cut it into logs so we could have a safe fire. Every time the hatchet would hit hte wood, Tyler would just giggle and giggle. He loved watching his dad. It was cute. We had dutch oven chicken for dinner and then roasted marshmellows over the fire when it was dark. Once the fire was out and we didn't have anymore wood to burn, we were off to bed and that's when all the real troubles began. Poor Tyler didn't want to go to bed. He just screamed and screamed. Finally we put him in the middle of us, but he still wouldn't sleep. Good thing we didn't have close neighbors or else they would've been cursing at us. Also, Cory and I really weren't prepared for the cold draft during the night. We don't have sleeping bags so we just brought a few blankets for us. Yep, we froze. DUring the night we heard a vistor enter our campsite. Cory peeked out the window of our tent and saw...a skunk. He shined his flashlight on it until it left. But, it didn't stay away long. When morning finally arrived, we packed up our things and left. We did sleep in our comfortable bed when we got home and it was wonderful. Although, this was not the best camping experince ever, it was fun. We do plan on going again, but maybe we'll have someone watch Tyler for the night instead of bringing him with us. Or waiting until he's a little older to take him.
