camping trip

Can you believe I went camping? I hate camping, sleeping outdoors, no bathrooms, bugs, tents, no AC, no heater. My motto is "I pay a mortgage every month so I can sleep indoors, why would I want to ruin that." So Bill decided it would be the perfect weekend to go camping, just for the night. I had a weak moment and gave in, I figured we could always pack up the car and head home if it was too miserable. We set up the tent on the Guadalupe River at a camping site and Bill made a fire and cooked some dinner. I did marry MacGyver so I guess it was time for me to really see him in action. We cooked smores over the fire later that night. Brayden snuck an entire chocolate bar when we weren't looking. It was the typical, "whaaa?" with a mouth full of chocolate. We all slept in the tent together, even little Cody. It was freezing!!! I bet it got down to 40 degrees or so. I had every blanket I could find on Cody and Brayden just to make sure they were warm. I didn't sleep much, not that I anticipated that I would anyway. The kids were fine when we woke up the next morning, in fact Brayden slept in til 9:30am. We decided to pack up the car as soon as we could and head back home, no reason to stay if we can't swim. We all weathered the trip pretty well, I think we were there a total of 15 hours. I am thinking we will not be repeating the trip anytime soon, but who knows maybe I will have another weak moment.Cody hanging outBrayden hanging onBrayden and Dad roasting smoresCody and I hung out in the car all morning long. He woke up at 6:30am and we ate in the car and stayed in there all morning with the heater on until the gauge read 60 degrees.The boys lounging while we pick everything up to go home.The campsite
