Camping

We just got back from camping up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was a company function with Carquest. The weather was nice, but the nights were COLD! This morning I woke up to frost on the top of the tent. Cameron is taking a nice long nap, but I should probably wake him so he can go to bed tonight at a decent time. We weren't able to take Lucy with us as the campsite is a watershed so she hung out at Erin's. I work with her and she has a pomeranian named Gizmo. They had a great time together.

While we were hanging out at the fire last night the kids were walking around in the woods next to us when they came running back saying "Moose!" There were two female moose munching on the grass not too far away. We were told the day before by the camp host that there have been two moose in the mornings in the area where we had our tent. They were pretty to see, but I was very thankful that they stayed where they were and just minded their own business.

I have a quiz tomorrow in microbiology so I tried to study as much as you can study when camping. I didn't want to seem like a total loser hanging out in the tent for too long while the rest of the adults were hanging out, but I needed to read in the quiet.

We were supposed to camp this next weekend too up on Fairview, but I don't know if I really want to do it again so soon. I mean, I like camping and all, but it still is a bit cold in the mountains at night. We would be able to take Lucy next weekend, but I think I want to hang out at home. Perhaps Cameron and Michael will still go.

Well, off to finish cleaning my house and studying a little more. Shannon is picking up Cameron for me Monday and Wednesday night since I have school and Michael will be in Evanston working on a store. I have to get my house in order before she comes over.

I haven't camped in a very long time. I actually love the camping part... just not the preparation and clean-up from camping!! Yes, it is still cold in the mountains!

That sounds fun! We're going camping this weekend. It's probably going to be cold this weekend too! Good thing we trailer camp. LOL I hope your quiz went well!!

Camping sounds so nice to me right now! I'd love to be wearing a sweatshirt in chilly weather instead of dealing with 90 degrees and constant airconditioning!

Hope all went well on your test. I'm sure you did just fine.
