Camping!

  Well on Friday my family decided to have a last minute camping trip! Which I was very excited about because I had been begging for one for a very long time now. I was hoping that a lot of people would go with us, but everyone was already busy since it was a last minute thing. So it ended up just being daddy, mama and me which was still a lot of fun. I'm not one of those 20 year old who don't like going out and doing stuff with their parents, or  who are embarrassed to be seen with them. I absolutely love doing stuff with my mom and dad. All three of us are just so close I kinda consider them like my best friends. We just know how to have fun together and act crazy together and I can pretty much talk to them about anything and everything. I am just so thankful that God has blessed me with such wonderful parents and with such a wonderful relationship I have with them. Not a lot of people my age are as close to their parents as I am and sometimes I take that for granted.
  Alright I kinda went off on a bunny trail there so let me get back to the camping trip now. So Friday after my dad got home from work which was about six something we rushed around the house getting everything ready and then we headed out. Luckily the place we camped was only about 10 minutes down the road from us. We camped at Waxahachie Creek Park which is a camping place out at Lake Bardwell and it is so beautiful down there! So we got there and we set up the tent which was quite comical cause it was the first time we set up our new tent we got and we had to figure out how to do it. And I just have to say this tent was huge and it was pretty awesome, it even had it's own screened in porch area! After we got the tent set up daddy and I went to town and bought all the food and supplies we needed and we also bought some pizza for supper haha. We stayed up late and built a fire and had smores and listened to the guys next to our camping area sing which was kinda entertaining. Then my favorite part of camping happened, we woke up early right as the sun was rising, but I was kinda sad because it was cloudy and we couldn't watch the sunrise. But we got a fire going and we cooked breakfast over an open fire. I have to say that there is nothing better than breakfast cooked over an open fire. That is like one of my favorite parts about camping, that and the smores of course. When we got done with breakfast we cleaned up and got dressed and broke down camp and packed everything up and then we went on a nature walk. They have a bunch of trails out there so we all had a camera and we took lots of pictures and just enjoyed God's creation. And after that we just went home. I didn't want to go home I would of loved to stay another night but we had church today. I just love camping so much! I want to go on a week long camping trip, I think that would be so much fun. I don't know what it is about camping that I love so much. I guess it's just being out in nature and enjoying what God created.
 It has been such a wonderful weekend and I don't want it to end! I am so very thankful that God has blessed me with such a wonderful life! :)
