Camping Trip!!!

 This August person took us camping at the lake. When she told us we were going, we couldn't stop yelling, we were too excited. Person was not happy about this and says that next time she won't tell us in advance. We know about the calendar though, so once we learn to read better, we can be prepared for what fun things are coming up on our own. Maybe if we write fun things in, person will be confused and take us to the zoo or the park. 

 

Driving is not very interesting for us.

We had to drive a very long way to the lake and were very bored in the car. Person kept telling us to sit still and to stop asking if we were there yet. It wasn't a lot of fun and Elsie dropped her chocolate on the floor and I accidentally pulled Elsie ear and person wouldn't let us put our heads out the window... We thought the three hours would last forever!

Almost there!

When we were finally almost there, person let us look out the front window. The road was very pretty but we just wanted to get to the lake.

Our home for the weekend.

 Once we arrived and had picked out the perfect campsite, we helped person set up the tent by bouncing on the air mattress to make sure it was filled up correctly. Person said this wasn't actually helpful and wanted us to go play but we know she needed our help so we could get to the lake quicker.

Such a big, beautiful lake for us to play in!

After getting the campsite set up (This took a long time. People are very slow.), we all went down to the lake for a picnic lunch. Person had brought some boring healthy salads but she had also remembered chips so it turned out OK.

Playing by the lake.

We went on a hike around the lake in the afternoon riding in person's backpack. This was fun, especially since we found some chocolate in there and helped ourselves to a generous serving.

Having a campfire was exciting!

In the evening we had a big campfire and sang songs and drank hot chocolate. Person didn't bring any marshmallows so that was sad but we did have some sausages to roast over the fire. Next time we will check person's food packing inventory to make sure we have everything we need. Person says marshmallows aren't healthy but we think all fun foods are healthy because they make us happy.

Get up person! We want to go play!

After an exciting night sleeping in the tent, we woke up very early the next morning and wanted to go play. Person was sleepy and cranky when we woke her up but we eventually got her to get up. There was still a lot of boring person stuff for her to do like make breakfast but we eventually got ready to go play!

This is so fun!

The most exciting thing that happened when we were camping is that person let us get in the lake and float around! It was a little scary for Elsie because she was afraid we would fall in but I wasn't afraid. Person may be mean and silly sometimes but she always takes care of us.

We looks so tinny at the big lake.

We were very sad when we had to go home from our camping trip. We don't see why we can't live at the lake forever in the tent and play all day everyday. Person said some silly things about work and responsibilities but we weren't paying attention. Elsie had climbed onto a rock and I joined her. We were planning to refuse to climb down so we couldn't go home. It seemed like a good idea but person just picked us up and put us in the car. We weren't expecting that. Sometimes she's smarter than she seems. Person told us that we can go camping again next summer and we are so excited. We are already planning all the fun things we want to do next year!
