Camping With The Well

Friday, July 27 -29


Our next big adventure started on Friday, July 27, 2007. We went camping with a group from our church and John came with us. Around 5 pm our friend Matt came over to ride to the campground with us. We picked up John from work and started making our way there. It should have only taken us about an hour and a half... it took us about three hours. By the time we got to the campground, it was dark and it was raining.

We set up camp in the rain, using the headlights of the van to light up our site. Little did we know that the key was turned and the radio and video player were both on... our battery was dead as a doornail in a matter of about half an hour. So, knowing the nature of our fifteen-year-old tent, I stretched a tarp over the top of the tent and tied it to the poles.

We joined the group at the campfire for a while and then went to bed. The next day, thankfully, was nice and dry, but hot. After a failed attempt at a scavenger hunt, Josh and Kailey went with a big group of people to go play frisbee golf. John, Julie and I went with Matt, Brian, Dorie and Gabby to go canoeing.

I have never been in a canoe, so I had no idea how to make it go. Matt and Gabby both said that they did, so I let them paddle. Brian and John took off with Dorie who was totally freaked out by the whole concept, she can't swim.

I'll have to write more later...
