Camping

Last time out I briefly mentioned:

Now we’re (Phil, Erika, Adam and me) taking the weekend off to go camping by Lake Lanier, we have the supplies in, the fishing rods, the fishing licenses are valid to go with it… Should be fun

And what fun it was…

We’ve been to Lake Lanier before on a day out, and decided that we should go camping once we had the chance, so, as previously mentioned, we got the stuff together and on Friday, we loaded the old Explorer up to the gils with more than enough equipment, 4 people and 3 dogs.

We were booked into the Sawnee camping ground in, what we later found out, was one of the best sites in the ground… We had a huge tent area for our huge 4 room tent, a little BBQ grill, a firepit and a little beachy area where we could go out and swim from… And we did a lot of swimming, and fishing, and kayaking… Mostly a lot of swimming… So we unpack, put up the tent and inflate the airbeds, because we believe in roughing it, and test the water.

After swimming and fishing for a bit we stop to dry off and have supper, later we begin one of the many games of Uno as the moon begins to rise, and it was a gorgeous red moon that showed up about 11pm

So after Phil goes to bed, Erika, Adam and myself sat watching the world go peacefully by before turning in too…

We’re all up early the next morning, and we spent the whole day in the water, and we all ended up various shades of red, we only took breaks for food, games of uno, chess and naps.

Sunday comes and we’re all in various levels of pain with sunburn, Adam is blistering and popping ibuprofen like m&m’s, so we get up late, have one last dip in the water and slowly pack everything away back into the truck before checking out at 3, but not before we scouted out the campsite and agreed we had the best spot in the place…

The obligatory you-know-what.
