This past weekend I went on my first ever camping trip, and for those of you who do not know me that well this is a bid deal.I don't do dirty! I have been the butt of many jokes for about two weeks...you see I can be a little bit of a priss. I am very rarely seen without makeup and my hair fixed, so this was a big step for me. Come Saturday, the day of the big camping trip, I was so excited that it was finally time to show everyone that I could be a camper because hey it was my idea not Phoun's idea to go camping in the first place. My sister was first to arrive at the camp site that we intended to camp at, but they were booked up. She tried calling several places, visited a scary place that looked like the place were they filmed the movie The Hills Have Eyes, and when we finally thought we were going to have to camp in someone's backyard she found Manchester KOA. It may not be seem like deep in the woods camping, but it was perfect for the kids. There was even a pond in the back area of are tents, and the best part the was running water with bathrooms.:)
Now for those of you reading this thinking that I am not a real camper yet, let me tell you. I was talking to my sister on the phone with my sister and joking about what I was packing for our trip(flat iron and make-up) when she informed me that we had to walk about 1/2 a mile to our camp site and to pack very light...this was the first camp site the one that was booked up and I was rushing to pack since I was already going to be the last one to get there cause Alec was at guitar lessons till 3:00....so I took her literally. I packed as light as possible, so light that I even forgot pillows. I didn't even think about the fact they we were not even staying at that camp site anymore. That night we were cold because we did not have enough blankets, the ground was sore,and Phoun even took the car's head rest out to use as his pillow. (Dork!) So YES, we are officially campers. Would we do it again, YES!
We did a lot of fun things. We ate hot dogs, fished and ate smores.

We had so much fun and I am looking forward to going again! There were definite times that I was struggling with bugs, dirt, children falling into the pond, night sounds, lack of sleep in the a.m. and the fact that I didn't bring my toothbrush....ooohhh disgusting!!
I am so glad ya'll went! We had so much fun, and can't wait to do it again!
