The Great Campout of 2008

So we officially have had our river place for about a year and a half, and about 2 months ago, we finally got our camper up there and set up. So, we took off recently to spend our first night in the camper. It was so much fun. A little spooky at times, when you are sitting in the middle of the woods, cooking some hotdogs, and all you can hear are things walking around you in the leaves....it is a little strange. However, I did not fear because I had Davey Crockett with me....


So we started off the night with a little dinner....now I consider myself to be a decent cook, but I didn't truly realize how "gifted" I was....my lovely husband ate 4 hotdogs..... I know it was probably the manner I cooked them in that made them so good, but he ate 4 in one sitting...


Also, on a side note, please notice my lovely river boots....I absolutely love them and people always comment about how "interesting" they are.

I digress....so after the great hotdog eating contest of 2008, we then decided it was time to turn in for the night. Now, I will tell you that my husband is one of great caution, which is good, because I am not. I am the kind that naps through tornadoes....he on the other hand, has known for days that a tornado was coming, has prepared a place for us to go, shelter and all, and is prepared. I would rather just sleep it out in my bed, but that is just me. So, here we are in the camper, that is fully equipped with air and heat...but the heat runs on propane, and he (and myself a little) are afraid something would go wrong and we would die of carbon monoxide poisoning and our families would find us dead out in a camper in the woods....not exactly the way I pictured myself "going out." So, we neglected to use the heater in the camper. Needless to say it was a cold evening. All in all though, it was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again!!






This is David showing his approval for the sleeping conditions in the camper....I think he was lying....looks like a night of tossing and turning based on his hair..

All in all, it was awesome and I can't wait to go again!!
