My 1st camping trip.

Up until this weekend I had never been camping in a tent. For whatever reason my family had always gone in an RV or stayed in a cabin. My husband introduced me to "the tent". I honestly dont believe I had ever been in a tent at all or even really understood how it worked. I had to work until about 8 on Friday so we didn't get to the lake until 10 or so. We had to set up in the dark but we weren't too worried b/c we had practiced in the living room! Sleeping on the ground wasn't horrible but the weather was! We took every blanket we own and I was still freezing! It was in the low 40's on Friday night! We got up early the next morning and had pancakes and bacon and went for a long walk to the lake. Ginger loved our hike at first but that didn't last long. Clearly she is an inside dog. She was shivering most of the trip (even in her bed, under her blanket). We made burgers for dinner and of course smores and hot chocolate. Stephen was excited to build a fire but unfortunately there is a burn ban but all in all we had a great weekend. I can't wait to go back. It is only 30 minutes from our house and its a beautiful drive this time of year. The trees have turned and the rolling hills are gorgeous. Here are a few pictures!
