Camping!

Gabby and I went camping with the Nevers Family on Friday night. We've been trying to go camping together for 2 years now and it just never happened until now. We went to Little Sahara Sand Dunes which are south east of here in the middle of nowhere. I love camping and have really missed going. I am definitely not brave enough to go on my own though. I had the worst night of sleep thanks to the wind and my paranoid thoughts that an animal was trying to get into my tent all night. And some idiots kept driving by our campsite on their four-wheelers. It helped that there were other people there, but Gabby and I definitely won't be taking any camping trips on our own any time soon. I love getting away from everything, even my cell phone service. I love campfires and especially s'mores. Gabby loved it as well, so we'll have to try and go a bit more.

The view to the east of the campgrounds from the top of the dunes. I have to say that my car was most impressive getting through to the campsite and not getting stuck.




Running to dunes. Part of the dunes is fenced off to play on sans ATVs.


I brought Gabby's sled to try out on the dunes and it worked out pretty well.





Going down on the stomach worked well too.





Magnificent sunset!





Tent Sweet Tent! I camp with an air mattress and was most comfortable aside from all my silly fears. It actually gets fairly cool at night (50's) so we were bundled up for the night.





Gabby and I took a slide down together.
