Camping

We went camping the weekend before we left for Disneyland. It was raining a little bit, and Rebekah was way too excited to be camping in the rain.
We had just found a campsite when Rebekah decided to pull out the camera. So naturally I pulled my classic pose.



We set up the tent but needed to fix the tarp underneath so we didn't collect water under the tent while we slept. So naturally we stored it on the only semi-dry surface available.

It probably wasn't a good idea to set the tent up so close to the fire, but we didn't want to walk far in the dark after we doused it.



We built a cozy little fire. Not sure why I'm holding the hatchet like that...






We tried making marshmallow roasting sticks out of coat hangers, but we brought the flimsy painted ones. After trying to burn the paint off only to find that the fire turned green...

We decided to search for a wet stick to use instead.







So we enjoyed the fire for a little while, roasting caramels and marshmallows until we were kinda cold and wet. We slept on a slight incline with our heads downward (silly us) and every time one of us would move to get more comfortable we would both wake up.


Bekah woke up before I did.








And it was a beautiful morning. Yay for camping!!! We didn't have any firewood left though, so we packed up and left. Hopefully next time it will be sunny and warm the whole time.
