So this Friday we have decided to go camping, FINALLY! It was in our plans last week but the weather interfered. Friday is the Day, we decided. We have a brand new Tent Jim got for Father's day last year we did not get a chance to use, because AJ was still a small baby. So there is was,,, Great plans, lots of preparation. I spent all day making food and getting everything we needed for the trip. Jim got home little earlier and we packed up the car. Tasia was so excited she could hardly stand herself, we were too. I love the outdoors.
On the way to the Canyon we stopped to get some more things in the store that we were missing. Kids were already getting pretty restless, but we were on OUR WAY!!! There was a huge line of cars waiting to get into the canyon, which got us little worried about the camping spot, so we decided to drive little further to the Silver lake and hike up there for a camp spot. You have to camp 1/2 mile away from the lake, which is a pain with kids, but we decided to do it. I had our chairs and Tasia, Jim carried AJ and our BRAND NEW TENT that we were so excited to use...(I know it is getting long and I have no pictures but bare with me, you will know why)...
We hiked up higher and higher in hopes to find a more flat spot for the tent, nothing really worked, but after about 20 minutes searching from one place into another, going through some thick shfubbery we decided on a spot. OK,,, here we are,,, By that time kids were getting very hungly and impasient, but we made it. We started unrolling our BRAND NEW 7 people tent and realized that The Brand NEW Tent did not have polls in it!!!!
Cruddd..............................
I am trying very hard not to say this word but it is the time...
So we packed up our stuff, ate the dinner in the car(those of us who felt like it, which was just Tasia) and spent another 1,5 driving the dirt road back. Here was the story of the BEST Camping Trip EVER. I told muself that was the Last time I am ever going to go camping. But I find myslef sighning up for the Work Campu out at Church today,
PLEASEm somebody, remind us not to forget the polls again!!!

Your post title is captivating! Your post...not so much...I would describe it as depressing! Next time you should just go camping in my backyard. It is practically a jungle out there.
