Camping!

Tan and I decided this year that we want to camping every other weekend, or as much as we can. We've already gone 3 times and it's been SO FUN! Our first camping of the summer we went with our friends Nick and Kenzie, and Brett and Megan to Beaver Dick. Here's some pics:

                                                           My best friend.

                 Oh dear. our friends camper was like falling over. It cracked me up.

Ok so funny story. Tanner and I were woken up in the middle of the night by this little scurrying under our tent. You would've had to be there but it SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF US! Friday night we both were just laying there talking when all the sudden we hear noises. Tanner thought it was a skunk outside of our tent but I thought it was a mouse under our tent. So Tanner yelled out to Brett and being the nice friend that he is, he got out of his tent and walked around ours to see what it was. hahaha. He said there was nothing outside of our tent so we were good. Well- the scurrying was still going on and it was not going away. Tanner and I eventually fell asleep, woke up in the mornig and thought nothing of it. Well Saturday night comes and we are both just praying that the little creature wouldn't keep us up all night.  Sure enough, the scurrying was there once again. It got on my nerves so bad that I started hitting the tent with my shoe. I'd hit it, and it'd be silent for a while making me think I killed it. nope...of course once I'd calm down and getback in my tent it would come back. So....we were both so annoyed and just wanted this thing dead. So Tan would shine a light on the area where the creature was moving, and I'd slap it with my shoe. Well- it started playing games with us. once the light shone on it- it would competely stop moving. Once we turned the light off- it would go crazy! It was really starting to get on my nerves. Yes it was like 4 in the morning- and I'm slapping the heck out of our tent. hahaha. funny visual. After probably and hour of trying to kill this thing- we both kind of gave up- and just layed back down. Sure enough- the creature kept getting closer and closer to my head. I could hear it getting louder and louder and I freaked. I grabbed my shoe and slapped the tent as hard as I could. I really thought it was dead. Nope- minutes later it scurried so fast it RAN INTO OUR AIR MATTRESS. That about did it for me. I got up, woke tanner up, and we started the light shining process again. Long story short- we never killed it- it just kept me up all night long. We found out we set up our tent on a vole hill....hahahahaha.   So...the stupid vole kept me up all night long so I got up at 5 and went fishing. Here was my gorgeous view.

It was so peaceful and quiet. Too bad I didn't catch anything :( Anyway- that was a very eventful couple nights trying to kill the stupid vole!! Never again. haha.
Overall, we had a great time. We played vollyball, fished, dipped our feet in the river, talked, played games, roasted smores, had delicious meals, and just enjoyed each others company. On to more camping!!
