We went on our first camping trip together last week. It was so fun! We went to Horse Thief Reservoir, which is up by Cascade. We left after Sage got off work on Monday night... after a few mishaps and stopping for fast food, we finally made it out of town and onto the wide open road. After a fun trip of singing to the radio and using some especially dirty gas station bathrooms, we made it to our destination. It turns out that our tent is actually an 8 person tent and we were in a race against the night time to get that tent set up. We won the race! The next battle was to get a fire started when everything was wet... I let my hubby conquer that one :) He had us a wonderful fire lit and we cuddled by the fire for an hour or so and then hit the hay.
Tuesday I cooked us a wonderful breakfast (though I did forget the syrup for our french toast) and we walked around and went for a drive and got the Bronco nice and muddy! We relaxed around the camp later that day. I started feeding a cute little ground squirrel and next thing we knew there were about ten of them swarming around us and begging for food. One even ran off with Sage's beef jerky that he had set down on a plate. It was pretty funny. Of course there were the customary S'mores made that night.
4:30 am we both got scared awake by the BIGGEST clap of thunder I've ever heard. And then it started raining. It was really peaceful (after our heart attacks subsided) and cool to listen to the now distant thunder rumble and the rain fall onto our tent and the birds chirping. Of course once morning came we had to pack everything up in the rain and mud, but all in all, it was a great first camping trip!
