Camping at Blue Springs State Park-May 16-17, 2008

On Friday night we went camping with some of our friends. We went to Blue Springs. We had so much fun! We wish we could have stayed 2 nights. Everyone got there at various times on Friday afternoon and we pretty much just hung out around the campfire all night. We cooked dutch oven and tin foil dinners, roasted marshmallows, and ate some junk food. Only one scary story got told :(

Saturday morning we all cooked our various dutch oven breakfasts. It turned out really good! Jason & Ambria, Clint & Morgan mezmorized by the fire.

Saturday after breakfast we headed to the springs. Notice I didn't say "hot" springs. The water is 68 degrees all year round, which is NOT warm in the summer. Everyone but me and Missy got in. She's 9 months pregnant, I don't have a good excuse.

Some of us had to quite the game early and sit in the shade cause we burn too easily. Including me.

Morgan did a lot better camping than I thought she would. She woke up about 4 times during the night, but only because she was getting cold, or maybe because Nobi barked a few times, I'm not sure which. Lots of us brought dogs. I think there was a total of 6 dogs and about 20 people. We had so much fun we can't wait to do it again. Hopefully we can before we move. Here is a video of Nobi. He was so excited to be in the gread outdoors that he just ran back and forth for hours. It was SO funny! He would only stop to smell the bugs or eat a piece of bark every now and then.
