Our First Camping Trip!

Our First Camping Trip!

We were so excited to go on our very first camping trip together. We have been camping before, but we always stayed in my mom and dads 5th wheel. This time.. we were going in style.. we were going the right way... we were going IN A TENT! I surprisingly was super excited. I can sleep in a tent. I can even get ready in a tent. I am not as high maintenance as you are all thinking. We left on Friday after work and couldnt wait to get up the mountain. We were staying in a meadow just a few miles shy of Panguitch Lake. We go every year and I was so excited to add Kason to our Beaumont Family Tradition. The whole night before I had been so excited setting up to go. I labeled everything and packed it all away so perfectly. We were super excited to set up our new tent that we had bought too! We got up the mountain and it was nasty outside! We knew it was going to be a WET weekend! It rained and there was so much lightning and thunder! It was so beautiful though and so nice to get out of the hot summer sun! We set up our tent and everything was so neat and tidy. It was perfect! We had yummy dutch oven chicken and potatoes that my family made and enjoyed the rest of the night together. We loved sleeping in our tent the first night. It was pretty wet outside and cold and so it kinda made our blankets and pillows pretty damp, but other than that it was so fun! We woke up and brushed our teeth with water bottles, buried our toilet paper in the bushes, and got ready with a compact mirror... and you guys thought I couldnt do this! That Saturday we had fun riding the fourwheeler and just relaxing in the hammock. We watched movies outside my parents trailer and just enjoyed the rainy weather. It was a beautiful day! That night we had navajo tacos for dinner. Kason has been introducing me to his love hate relationship with navajo tacos for a while now. He used to have them too often on his mission when he would serve on the reservations and so now they kinda just make him sick every time. We had talked about it all day and night and we all felt bad that he had to eat them for dinner. It was so funny because he wasnt the one sick all night! It was ME! I was miserable! It was awful and I knew I couldnt survive it being in a tent! Ha! So I meekly knocked on my parents door and they woke up and answered. Little did I know that my cute wonderful husband was waiting in his garment bottoms and cowboy boots FREEZING outside the door for me for a LONG time! I eventually made it out okay and enjoyed the rest of the night, but poor Kas couldnt get warm for the rest of the night! Ha!
Sunday morning we woke up and had breakfast. Then we all packed up to come home. When we got into town we cleaned up our camping equipment and decided it would be easiest if we sprayed off our tent at his parents house on their grass. So we set it up and laid out our tarp... When it dryed we packed it up and noticed that we had killed the grass completely where our stuff had been! In the perfect shape of square tarps and tents! OOPS! We felt super bad.. Sorry Kelt!
We decided that we love camping and we cant wait to spend the rest of our lives doing more of it!
