Camping--- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

A recent phone conversation:

Me: Good Morning!

Sister: Hey, whatcha doing?

Me: Camping. Whatcha doing?

Sister: WHAT?

Me: Camping... (I smile because she knows me so well)

Sister: YOU, DO NOT CAMP!!

Me: Yes, I know...

Camping... I'm not good at it! I might have showed up to Girl Scout camp with a pink suitcase. I might have taken a curling iron camping in high school. I might have taken a down comforter and air mattress camping over the weekend. Camping, some good, some bad, and some ugly.

The Good:

Unplugging, spending quality time with the Hubs and Boys.

S'mores

Listening to the Boys shriek.

Hubs possesses mad fire starting skills. He is a mountain man and a good camper. Show-off!

Beautiful lake setting.

The Bad:

Pit toilet. I am one of those people that looks down in the pit... Maybe there is a 12 step program? My new motto: don't look in the pit.

Bugs. Not a huge fan.

Smelling like bug spray, sunscreen, wood smoke, BO, sweat, and dirt.

Warning----- my be offensive to dog people. Crazy dog people that let the dog sit in their lap and feed them off of their plate with a fork.

Yelling at afore mentioned dogs to stop barking... Yeah, that works.

The Ugly:

Sunburn. What is wrong with me?

7 dead skunks on the way to the lake.

People fighting when their dogs get in a scuffle.

Breaking camp in a rain storm.

Looking in the pit. Gotta find a 12 step program!

Naturally curly hair after two days of camping---- hello pig tails!
