Camping Trip #1

Last weekend we felt adventurous. "Let's go camping!", we happily exclaimed.... Poor Goldie (Poppy's camper van) has been waiting and waiting for us to say those words.

So we loaded her up with all the "life support systems" and headed towards the mountain, not exactly sure of our final destination - and that was ok with us. We settled on a mountain lake, and then finally on one of the 4 campgrounds, and lastly on the perfect spot.

Our view was breathtaking-



But the look on The Dude's face was priceless -



The urge to crawl around and eat dirt and rocks got the better of him, and we let him get a little taste here and there, but we kept him pretty clean for the most part. Luckily we had Goldie as a place to land, crawl around, escape from the MAMMOTH mosquitoes and make a damn good cup of coffee.

Owen even had his own captain seat -



As the first inaugural camping trip for The Dude, we didn't do too bad... things could have been a lot worse. Next time we will know more of what to do and what not to do - for instance, spend two nights instead of one - and we will try to get more sleep.

Well, some of us anyway -

Kace Laroo, you always have such great composition, I bet you birds had great fun, and I agree - one night is not enough. Love you three.
