Camping

We're going camping today until Tuesday morning. OJ and Nikki are coming with us.

We're going to Paso Picacho in the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, which is where we always go, and we're so excited :D Or at least, yesterday I was really excited, I wanted to go RIGHT THEN. Not so much anymore, but I know that once we get on the road, I'll be excited again. Usually when we get there, it's evening and the sun is going down. This time, we'll be there at check in... 2pm. That will be PERFECT because then we can really see what areas are best for the tents and put them up without needing flashlights and lanterns. I can get the "Kitchen" all set up too .

We got a new tent. It's an Ozark Trail tent... blue, two room, 13x10, 6 feet high. It sleeps 6... but yeah, we'd never use it for that many people, I don't think. BUT we can put Chompers' kennel in there and our stuff. Normally we have to keep all of our stuff in the car, and last time we brought Chompers, he had to stay in the car too at night. So now we have space for everything and don't have to bend over in the tent because it's so tall. It fits in a small bag, only a little bigger than our two person tent.

We also got a propane lantern. Problem is, nobody sells long matches anymore. Well, at least the Wal Mart in Lakeside doesn't. But the man I was asking about it said that he couldn't find them anywhere.

We decided not to bring the BBQ this time because we're not really cooking much food that requires it, since we're cooking hot dogs on our marshmallow sticks, and we're going to eat Pork Chops, which can easily be cooked on a pan on the stove.

Chompers LOVES camping too... he behaves so much more on the leash there. He loves running around, smelling things, and pooping in nature :D

OK so I'm going to go put away dishes now so Art won't complain anymore (hahaha:) ) and then get the cold foods together so that when OJ and Nikki get here in like an hour, we can just put everything in the cooler and head out! :D
