Camping fun

Well the girls had such a good time camping Monday night they wanted to stay another night. We came home cleaned up, took naps got more food and went back to the lake. This time with Bill and Christina. It rained on us and we still had a good time. It was fun going with friends who didn't moan and complain because of the rain. They just took it in stride and we lay in our tents and talked and talked.
Christina was excited to go to a lake that is only 30 min. from home. I am sure she will want to do it again.

We had a tent for the girls and a tent for the adults.
In the night Bill was looking out of the tent and come to find out there was a raccoon. It was sitting by the campfire eating a hot dog that someone had dropped. It had already been on the table. Bill said he heard it chomping. It was BIG too.

The night before I had slept in the back of the pick up on a mattress under the stars. I was happy to have a dry place to sleep not with all the girls. Plus I wonder if the raccoon had visited the night before. I don't think so because we had done a better job of cleaning up and putting things away because it wasn't raining.

We came home and then had to put everything away. We are working on the laundry which is a lot because you always have to wash everything when you get home.

I had purchased some totes so I am keeping the camping stuff together and labeling the totes with the contents to save time if we want to camp again sometime. When we got to the campsite the first night it was pretty late and then the camp stove wouldn't work. We ended up going to Spearman to Alco and buying a one burner propane stove. It is small and very easy to use. I will keep that packed with the camp stuff.
