Camping Adventure

Last night I got home from work early so Jake and I decided to go camping. We bought some hot dogs and marshmallows to roast and headed up to his parent's house to camp on his parent's land. When Jake was up there a few weeks ago burying their water line, he leveled off a little area to camp. Brandon, who works with Jake, and his three kids came up so Brandon could give his wife some much needed time alone. It was a lot of fun to roast the hot dogs. Roasted hot dogs are the best. I don't know if it's the smoke or the fire or what that makes them taste so good, but it sure beats a hot dog boiled or cooked in the microwave. Well, after the Brandon and his kids left, we went to bed, but the ground wasn't very level. It was really hard too, almost like a rock. We didn't sleep very well, and we were super thirsty. We had dumped all of our water on the fire, not thinking that we might want some to drink. At about 2:30 in the morning, we left and went home to our nice soft bed.

I agree, roasted hot dogs on a fire are the best...but camping on a hard cold ground, not so great...sounds like fun!
