Our trip

We came back from camping yesterday. And I thought that I'd give you a detailed (well, not too detailed) account of what happened. I wrote it all down in my journal.

Day one :Saturday
We left our house at 9:46 am. Them we went to get coffee and doughnuts. We stopped about an hour later to let Brea go, and saw some very noisy roosters. We had luch at Fatz Cafe. When we got to Bear's Den family campground, it took us about 2hrs to set up. Then we walked to the lake and back, and tried out the bathrooms a couple of times. We had corn & Hamburgers & hotdogs for supper. Brea stole one of the raw hamburgers, it was 1/4 of a pound! She must have loved it (no wonder she didn't eat much later on!). Then we had devotions, and cooked marshmallows over the fire. We tried to go to bed after that, but kept on being interrupted by everybody having to go to the bathroom (Abi had to go like, 5 times an hour!) and Brea was barking incessantly at the darkness. So I did not get a good night's sleep.

Day 2:
I woke up at 6 o'clock, and by 8, I had eaten breakfast and taken a (very cold) shower. Mum keeps on complaining that it takes her 1/5th of a mile to walk to and from the bathroom. Our car wouln't start so a kind neighbor jumped it and we headed out on our 45 min. drive through the mountains to church. (By the way, the church service was very weird. Then we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, and then to Ingles to get ice. We took the long route (2hrs) to get back to Bear's Den (a.k.a bugs galore). Then Aaron, Abi, and Dad went to check out the lake (which was green) (I was too tired). Then we ate supper (mostly just chef boyardee canned stuff) and then went to the lake to swim. It was so much fun! And deep enough to dive in. We gave Brea a swimming lesson, and I'm not sure she enjoyed it as much as we did. :) We came back to the campsite and had some hotdogs. Then we had devotions and after that, s'mores. When we tried to go to sleep, we all kept on talking, (and being silly) so we stayed up an hour later than we were going to. (12:30!)

Day 3:
When we woke up, I had a small breakfast of cereal, so I wouldn't starve before we had a brunch 2 hrs later. After that we went to the lake (aroung 11 am) until 2:30! It was tons of fun because the lake is deep enough to dive into, and I really like diving. While we were there, we let Brea in the water again, and she was swimming, and Justin let go of her, and I went to go get her, but I slipped, and sprained my toe. And it still hurts to walk on it. (She was caught, eventually.) (Oh, and we also got to row in the canoe that they let you use.) When we got back, we all had a very late lunch, and then rested for a while. Then we had Grilled chicken and steak and veggies with cheese for supper. And then campfire dessert. (which is really yummy :)

The next day we left.

And now I am extreamly tired of typing, and will probably post some pictures later.

Bye!
