The Wilson's went camping.....YES again!
So as most of you probably know our first camping experience was eventfull to say the least! However this did not deter us from going again and this time we didn't have any problems to speak of, which is fine with me! We left friday afternoon and headed to the Poconos which is about 2hrs north of here. We were the first of the five families that we camped with last year to arrive. We set up our new teepee tent and the screen tent and then steve started a fire. we had dinner and then socialized a little bit then went to bed around 10pm. Max did great sleeping in the tent he didn't wake up once either night. I had a hard time sleeping as i could not help but think of snakes getting in my sleeping bag. I finally did fall asleep around 4am and was kinda tired the next day. I got up and started the fire and made the percolated coffee and made breakfast which was sausage patties and french toast made with texas toast. we hung around the campsite most of the day and the girls played with the other kids. Our teepee tent drew some onlookers and one guy even came over to ask us where we got it. It is really big so we had plenty of room. It did leak some on the seams but we also didn't waterproof it either. It rained pretty much all day saturday. Three of the five families left because there tents leaked and all their stuff had gotten wet. They hung around most of the day on saturday but left before dark. Sunday morning was my favorite part as i got up at 7am because my body couldn't handle sleeping on the hard ground any longer. It was really quiet(all the loud kids left the night before) and cloudy just the way i like it. I chopped some wood and started a fire and then made the coffee. So i was able to sit and relax, sipping my coffee and watching for bears! Steve and the kids got up around 8:30am and i made breakfast. The girls went on a hike with our friends and their kids as steve and i started to break down the camp. As you know Steve was hospitalized last weekend and was doing better during the week. He started having pain again on thursday night so i wasn't sure if we were even gonna get to go camping but he toughed it out and took loads of Tylenol! i will post pics as soon as i can figure out how to download them of my new phone. I remembered to bring my camera but forget to take the battery out of the charger!
