Our camping trip

Since camping with Dechlan was such a bust, Hubby and I decided to go on our own for 2 nights. It was great until 10pm the first night. We went for a hike and then had lunch at the beach, found a site and then set up everything. We went for a small walk to explore and then sat for a little bit and read. In the late afternoon we went to Lake Simcoe which was really close to our site. Swam for an hour and then went to shower. Yes, we showered. I may love camping but I don't like being dirty and I certainly don't like outhouses (Ew). After showering we made dinner. BBQ chicken breasts and ceasar salad. We read until about 8:30 and then started our fire. We are terrible at building fires. We built it enough so that we could roast marshmallows and enjoy the sounds and smells of a campfire. Our fire died around 10-10:30pm which was okay because we were getting tired. It started to rain once we started putting things away. Just a light drizzle at first and once we were in our tent it started to just pour down on us. It didn't let up for hours and hours. It started to thunder and had some lightning and it woke us up. We looked around the tent to make sure it wasn't leaking and sure enough it was start to leak into the tent. It was about 3am and we heard people leaving from the sites around us. We had actually contemplated leaving too. But It was a one hour drive home and honestly, we just weren't sure it was a good idea to leave in the middle of the night. So we just put towels down and went back to sleep. Once we woke up we found that EVERY was soaked. Our picnic table was so wet that we weren't sure we would be able to use it that day. So we packed up our stuff, got a refund for the 1 day and headed home.

it was a great camping trip until the rain, haha! Next year we will be better prepared for rain that is for sure!
