Camping at Ice House

This is old as well, I'm still playing catch-up. Truman & I had never been camping around our home area, only in Utah. So we decided it would be fun to go camping before we moved to the bay area. We camped at Ice House at the Northwind campgrounds. Not as cold as it sounds, maybe during the winter... I'm not a huge camper, but decided it would be fun for a night. After this excursion though, I think my new rule is the campground has to have flushable toilets *shudder*.

We enoyed laughing & talking in our $5 dollar camping chairs

Our cool red tent

Truman taking a nap enoying our air mattress. Unfortunately, this was the last time he enjoyed it...and me. It slowly deflated by 2am. Truman turned the pump on at that time (I'm sure our neighbors loved us) to re-inflate it which lasted a few more hours. By 6am we were each trying to sleep stiff as a board on the mattress so as to not wake the other. It felt like a half-filled waterbed, by the time neither of us could sleep anymore and our bums were sunk to the ground, it became a game of loud laughter and bouncing each other up and down. It was hilarious, more like the delirious kind of hilarious though from lack of sleep. haha.

The water was suprisingly not too cold and Truman went for a swim

Our campsite backed up to this, it was gorgeous

Me getting in touch with my nature/cooking self. haha. I am quite the gourment camping chef {jk}. Chili hot dogs and cereal for breakfast. That's my kind of camping! We did have about three smores each though that evening over our three hour campfire. We had ourselves a nature walk, sat around the lake, and both carved each other something out of the drift wood, it was awesome.Truman enjoyed using his boyscout skills to light the fire making a teepee, log cabin, etc. It was fun to forcibly sit there and talk to each other with no entertainment besides ourselves. We talked for hours asking one another get to know you questions and seeing if we were right, talked about our favorites, least favorites, how we met, all that feel good stuff. It was a fun trip, anything is fun with Truman, we'll just double check the air mattress next time. haha.
