Finally the Amazing Camping Trip!

Okay so I know it took forever and a day to get all of the photos up. We went camping the weekend of memorial day. Simply put it was A-MAZ-ING! First of all we drove like three hours to Tri-Cities. The next morning we get up, get ready and get super excited about going. We clean the boat and drive off into the sunny day. We drove to about three different camping sites...all booked beyond all reason. Finally we find one that has overflow camping. We were asking where this was and the manager said, and I quote "see that green patch of grass? Now see the next on? Now see that brown patch of grass? That's the overflow camping. You all enjoy"...was he serious? As we pulled up to the sign we realized he was. Oh well, we were determined to make the most of it. So we loaded the boat into the water. We were all very excited to go boating. I even rented a wet suit to try wakeboarding. We started to boat...and the alarm goes off....so we try again. Same result. Finally after about an hour of investigating we've got nothin'. We decide that It's better not to chance it even though the boat ran. We have lunch and decide to map out any other possible camp sites. Finally we learn that there is an unmanaged camping spot not too far away. So we head out. After taking only a few wrong turns and adding about 30 minutes to our drive we find it. It was PERFECT!!! We camped, we ate, we drank, we got to shoot guns, we fished. Oh it was perfect. Everyone got sun and loved the whole weekend. I added all of the photos. Sorry there are a butt-ton of them. Enjoy! Man I love camping!!!

Captin Jiggles about to drive the boat.

Our Camping site! It had a private beach, camping space and a pre-made fire pit!!

These clouds opened up the first night. We all got soaked...and found out that you can put a rainfly on a tent upside down. That's stupid if you ask me.

The most beautiful sunset I've seen.

Marshmellows over an open flame makes me very happy.

It's like grease the pig...but with an ungreased Jiggles....

She was tired after playing chase. Jiggles couldn't take the heat :)

We had a wrist rocket competition. So Much Fun!! I fished :)

Jiggles and Jed. They're so serious!

Say Cheese!!

I caught the only fish the whole weekend! He went back, but it made my whole weekend!!

The view from our campsite! So amazing!

Possibly our Christmas card photo next year :)

I call this the "love tree"

I take photos when I'm bored :)

Jed and Jiggles. They love eachother :)

Apparently this is how they transport porter potties...who knew?

Jed made the BEST bugers I've EVER had. Mmmmm

We saved this toad/frog from the fire.

Jiggles was dead after the weekend. Too much fun for one little pooch.
