Camping Part II

Well, I'm back and I survived!!

There's so much I could say about the weekend. The weather was great minus sleeping Friday night. I was freezing!! We slept under 2 sleepings bags and 1 blanket. In order to stay warm, we kept our heads under the blankets. I still put a sweatshirt on in the middle of the night with the hood up. Had a small storm Sat. during the night and some spotty showers on Sunday but the bad stuff all stayed away. I think we lucked out! We still came back Sunday evening. The weather looked like it was going to turn bad, so we quickly packed up all of our things. Of course by the time we were finished the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Oh well, I was ready for my comfy bed and to get away from our really inconsiderate neighbors who put their tent about 3 feet away from ours and had a dad who thought he knew everything and liked to loudly tell the rest of the world about it during all hours of the day and night. yea, I was a little annoyed...

Other than that we had a lot of fun. Highlights: Campfires, smores, pizza pudgy pies, cheese pudgy pies, blueberry pudgy pies, apples pudgy pies, playing Loaded Questions and answering everything with "Redheads", calling everyone a Sally, biking, golfing, sunburns, and being lazy!

I only had one incident with a spider. I was coming into my tent. I had just showered and was feeling great when I saw a spider on the top of our bed. We both froze and looked at each other for a minute or two. I am TERRIFIED of spiders btw. As a kid I always made Cari kill them for me and now make Justin or Zoey do it. Seeing as Justin was no where around, I decided I was going to put my big girl panties on and try and kill the thing. I scanned our tent to see what I could use. All I saw was a plastic Ziploc. I grabbed it, put it over the spider, shut my eyes and squeezed down. No luck. He had run away. Spider-1, Kristen-0. I tried to put him out of my mind and just continue to get ready. Luckily a few minutes later Justin came back, used his manly power, found spidey and killed him. Spider-0 Justin-1. I was so relieved.

Here's a couple pics from the weekend. The rest are posted on my website.
