Well, our 2nd camping trip of the summer was quite fun....just not as smooth as the 1st one. It was the week before Sage was leaving for WLC (for 2 weeks) and so he was trying to get 3 weeks of homework done in 1 week. Then we were dealing with a bunch of new-house stuff and a million other misc. things. Of course packing for the trip didn't happen til the day-of and we were supposed to meet Brian & Sheila at 6:30 in good ol' Bear, Idaho. If you haven't guessed yet, by the time we were on the road, both of us were ready to bag camping and just go home. But, we pushed through and ended up in a tired, but good mood.
Unfortunately, that didn't last too long. To start out Shelby peed in her crate and I cleaned it up for the 35th time. Then came our mistake of trusting Yahoo Maps. For those of you wondering, the makers of Yahoo Maps are probably smoking crack. Translation: Do NOT ever use Yahoo Maps!! We ended up on some random mountain road where you could only go 15mph...we spent over an hour on the wrong road. Don't worry folks, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. We finally found Brian and Sheila!! They had patiently waited for over an hour for us.
Well, we made it to camp...then I realized that I had forgotten any shoes besides my flip-flops and our camping stove broke. Talk about a stellar start to our trip :) Shelby went bananas running around the mountains. We had a great fireside talk with Brian & Sheila. Poor Brogan got licked & tackled by Shelby numerous times.
We went on a very lovely (but LONG) drive and the dog fell out of the truck twice. We went shooting and my wonderful hubby gave me some pointers. We got chased by a romantically frustrated bull...who also wandered through our camp twice...mean looking guy. My choice of flashlights were ridiculed over the fireside talk...I bought 2 flashlights for $3...a great deal, but maybe not the best quality of lighting :) Despite the many chaotic moments of our camping trip, it was loads of fun! I had a wonderful time with my hubby and with our friends. It was a weekend full of memories.
PS- Did I mention that we also got a flat tire on the Bronco??? :)
