Camping

On June 8, (wow am I behind!!!) Landon and I, met up with Paul at work for a quick overnight camping trip! We also rode up with Paul's co-workers wife and 2 kids. This was a very interesting camping trip! Well it had an interesting start at least! I was driving down the road and apparently made a wrong turn to our destination! This wrong turn added another 2.5 hours to the drive, scratches on my nice car, and my car got stuck in sand!!! Aah! There was no cell phone service...so I couldn't call for help, and I had no idea I was going the wrong way! I had an empty Wendy's cup in the car, so we used that to help digging out sand from around the tire! After a while of digging and trying to drive my way out...I realized I wasn't in four wheel drive! I put the car in 4 wheel drive and we made it out! Thank goodness! Eventually We saw a golf course, so we pulled over, tried to reach our husbands and couldn't. I eventually reached a friend who informed me I made a wrong turn...the worst part is I made this same wrong turn twice because I just thought I missed the turn off to the guys camp spot! I eventually got on the right path and we were united with our husbands! What a relief that was! When we got there we made hot dogs over the camp fire and smore's for dessert! We also played some card games, and I got more and more used to using the bathroom in the wilderness! Haha! Landon loved camping! He loved being outside! The next morning, we played card games, and ate cereal for breakfast. Afterwards, we packed up and left. It was that short of a trip! We had a lot of fun, and got to make some new friends=)

This is my car...buried in sand!
Landon eating dirt...It was hard keeping him out of things!
Our family...we all look kind of gross...but we're camping so it's ok!
Landon having a good time!
