Campers: 1 Weather: 0

This weekend some of us went camping, despite what the Weathernazi told us would be a gloomy, wet and cold weekend. I wont lie, there was lots of wet, and lots of cold, but no gloom...There was plenty of dry wood to keep us warm, and plenty of beer to keep us numb. We played quite a few games of Catchphrase, which is the best game to play whilst sat round the fire. I believe the guys won the Catchphrase tournament. The food this weekend was excellent, thanks to Kendra for the hobo pizzas and Dale & Greg for dinner Saturday night. Friday night was beautiful, with plenty of stars in the sky. Most of Saturday was great with a little bit of rain during the day. Late Saturday night we got the worst of it, but still we had fun, and it was pretty exciting having to fight the wind and rain from tearing apart our canopies.

We were excited to see how well our new gear held up through the wind and rain. The new tent kept us dry and the canopy didn't fall apart.

Sunday morning was the coldest of the entire trip. We quickly made our breakfast and began to pack up our gear. On the way back home we drove through a patch of freezing rain that I'm glad didn't hit us earlier that morning.

As it is with any vacation, Amanda and I returned home and dreaded the unpacking process. We managed to get all the laundry done, but we are waiting for some sun to air out the tent.

Thanks to Amanda, Eddie & Ratchel, Rye Bread & Kendra, Brent & Liz, Nay Nay, Dale & Greg, and Rigby & Tonka for making this weekend great.
