Camping

On Thursday my family and I went camping. We had a lot of fun. When we got to our camping place we went to ask the owners if their park was opened (we were going to camp at Nuns Park), but the owner said that their park wasn't open until Saturday. He also said that about 4 miles up the road was another camp site called Deer Creek so we drove up there and luckily it was opened! We picked our site and then set up camp. Once camp was set up we started the fire so we could make dinner. Our dinner was hot dogs, and for dessert we had pineapple upside down cake. It was so yummy. We went to bed really late, probaly around 10:30pm. Then we went to get ready for bed. We fell asleep, but I had so much trouble staying warm. My legs were so cold, and I was still wearing dad's big fleece coat and my big coat but I was still very cold. I was the first to wake up. For breakfast we had oatmeal, hot chocolate, and left over pineapple upside down cake. Once we had eaten breakfast We rode our bikes to the beach. Me and Taylor tried to catch little baby prairie dogs, but we didn't catch one. We came back to our camp and had lunch.

 Then Taylor, Dad, and I went on a huge hike. We had to walk all the way from our camp to the other camp site, probably about 2 miles! Then we hiked the hill about a couple thousand feet. (It was big.) Once we got to the top of the mountain we had to go down the mountain. It was steep. When we got to the bottom of the hill, we were going to swim from the mountain to our camp site. The swim was a big one too. But then Taylor talked to a family in a boat and they gave us a ride to our camp. Once we went back to our camp, we had dinner and then we started to pack up. Once we were packed up we went to our cousin's house and roasted smores with them. I had a great time camping and I want to go another time soon.

We are on the very top of this hill.
