I love new experiences. I only like good experiences though, not the bad ones :) I have encountered new experiences this weekend. We went camping in these so called mountains. I just call them really big hills.
I wasnt planning on going camping until Friday afternoon, but we left on thursday afternoon. I had to rush to get ready! We packed our things, and left for them mountains. We had to stop off at safeway to get some steaks. Then we met hunter's dad there and followed him up to the camping site. We went by Big Lake, which i was told was a place with a big lake. Oh, the beauty of words!

We finally got to our campsite, after what seemed like never ending miles of dirt bumpy roads. We were in the middle of nowhere! No bathrooms, no water, no nothing! I had only been camping one time without anything around, and that was with our other friends. This was sure to be interesting! Hunters parents brought their trailer, so at least we had an escape if it started raining!
We pitched our tent, and set up camp. The dreadful time has come- time to go to the bathroom. What was I to do?! I really was not going to go to the bathroom in the woods.. Are you kidding?! I told hunter I needed to go to the bathroom and he said okay toilet papers in the car, have fun! I looked all around me, and saw that Iwould have to walk up the hill very far to find a huge tree. This is not exciting.. How am I going to deal with this?

I almost stepped on one in the front yard while weed eating, and i couldnt step foot in the grass for a week. If I saw a snake while I was doing my duty, I would have nightmares forever! So, I grabbed the TP and took off. Took off walking up the grassy, wild hill that was filled with who knows what. I looked over and saw a bush start shaking and yep, that was it. Im not going to the bathroom. So I took off running, and tried to find a different place. I would not like to have to do that if I dont have to anymore.
After that, we started our steaks. They were the best steaks ever! Yum! It was then time for bed after torturing Caden to eat his delicious chicken. I was so tired! Caden and I went into the tent, and I got him ready for bed. He started using his stalling tactics, as usual, and started singing to act cute. We then prayed and he just kept talking. He stopped in the middle of a sentance and fell asleep. Poor guy was wiped! Hmmm sounds like someone else I know (MOM!) Haha. What was the name of the retail merchandiser of that building? haha.
Let me give you a word of advice, never ever bring a two year old camping with you unless you're prepared to spend hours of time awake instead of being asleep. Im telling you, Caden woke up every single half hour to turn over, or to even snuggle up under our armpits, because apparently that spot is warmer than anywhere else. It was his favorite place to end up. I hardly got any sleep. I think we ended up catching about three full hours of z's. Caden decided to be so kind and wake me up at 6 am. Now, I dont know about you but thats what time I still want to be asleep.
We got up, ate cinnamon rolls, and headed off for the lake for some fishing. Needless to say, without a boat, its virtually impossible to go deep sea fishing. Try fishing off a lake on the rocks- it does not work very well. Hunter and his dad decided to try to see if they could catch some luck at the lake, but it wasnt before long that the rain decided to fall. We then packed up and went back to camp. We had some hotdogs, but since I despise those unGodly things, I ate summer sausage. It was okay, but definitly not a filler.
I couldnt manage to sleep another night with a kicking, punching, sleepless child, so we packed up our stuff and headed back home. Ahhh the joys of electricity and the TV that plays Handy Manny. That was one experience I dont want to have any time soon. At least next time I will be more prepared.. I will bring body pillows so caden is stuck in one place while he sleeps. I will also be bringing a laptop with his favorite movies to keep him occupied.
I took some pictures of the campsite and of caden playing with his net in the water while we were waiting for magic fish to jump on the poles. I hope you guys enjoy them!
