Rained Out.....

Over the Labor Day holiday, Miles and I decided to go camping together. Now--we have been camping for reunions and other events, however, this time we were trying it on our own! We arrived, pitched the tent (yes-we were roughing it!), and set up camp. Since it was the holiday most of the campgrounds in America are full. So we were camping up "Cherry Creek", which has no running water and an outhouse. Needless to say, we had a 5 gallon jug for water, and some quality hand sanitizer. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly Friday night and Saturday. In the evening, Miles sister, Milissa brought her children up and we played games and roasted marshmallows and such. When Saturday night came, I heard a few rain drops in the middle of the night. I didn't really stress too much about it. At 4 am, I could hear quite a bit of rain, and then I hear Miles come shooting out of his sleeping bag. He decided it was raining too hard and most of our things were just sitting out on the table. We made it through the night though....and Sunday we woke up a little later in the day. Buddy (Miles' dad) came up to see if we wanted to go choke cherry picking.....so we did. The rain held up while we were picking berries, and we went back to camp. Then the rain came.......and it RAINED! and RAINED! So we waited in the tent reading our books and thinking about how the storm would pass. It didn't pass!! :( While reading, we heard something that sounded like a cow. Miles gets up and unzipped the tent to find a herd of cows invading our camp. We must be in Idaho or something! So it was still raining, and we decided that we weren't going to ride out the storm. We drove to Downey and stayed with his parents because the rain was soaking everything! We picked out things up the next morning and went home to Chubbuck. The laundry is finally finished and the tent is finally dry.....so maybe we'll go camping again!
