Camping Fun

The best thing about having the smallest tent in our campsite:
1-It was the fastest to assemble and take down and fit back into it's bag.
2-No instructions were needed, badda bing badda boom all done!
3-It was free-we borrowed it from my dad.
4-Makes for fun jokes by people passing by...Our primary president "That's the tent where you're supposed to keep the dog." :)
5-It's cozy and we stayed warm.

Our campsite was the talk of the area. We had two campsites right across from each other. One we parked the cars in and the other we put up six tents. It was a lot of fun!
On Friday night we went camping with five other couples to San Elijo State Beach. We went last year for the first time and had a great time except for the trains that would wake us up at night. This year was similar. It was way more fun with a bunch of people. We all cooked our own food (the Nefs and us cooked together...we had delicious kabobs made by Ellen and cooked by Greg-We hadn't used the grill before and didn't realize it didn't come fully assembled. Thanks Greg for putting it together and then doing the cooking.) and then Peter made apple crisp in a dutch oven to share and it was yummy. Saturday morning at 3am a freight train went across the tracks honking its horn for the longest possible amount of time. Everyone woke up! Peter and I wandered around the campsite at 7am and found some families we knew. Shortly thereafter our campsite was awake and we were busy making breakfasts. After breakfast we headed to the beach.
The couples sitting around right after breakfast. Greg and Ellen, Patrick and Carly, Peter and Me, Matt and Carla, Kadee and Jim, Karina and Adam.

So after breakfast we headed down to the beach. These are the crazy people that actually got in the freezing cold water. Peter and I chickened out. We touched the water and said, "No way!" Mind you it was also totally overcast and really cold out.

This is what Peter thought of the cold water. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Notice how we are all bundled up. I didn't take my jacket off until the sun came out around noon. And even then it was still pretty cool out though I managed to get sun burnt on my legs. The three crazies in the front went swimming in the frigid water and came back numb.
