CAMPING

Okay, here's the adventure that happened before my trip to the Naval Academy.
So, at our old church we became really good friends with the pastor and his wife. Now every year she takes us camping, along with her nieces and nephew who are our age. This year we tried out a new campground and its number two on the list of favorite campgrounds.
Tuesday afternoon we went to Grandma Judy's house (not actually our grandma of course, but we call her that anyway) and discovered that instead of going to the campground to sleep, we'd stay at her house due to storms rolling in. the last five or so years we've had a bunch of rain. Sleeping in wet tents is not fun. So this year we stayed in a dry house playing card and board games.
The next day we went to the campground and set up tents. After that, we just did normal camping things. We went fishing, cooked awesome meals (hobo dinners are delicious), swam, hiked, took a tour of the historical part of the park, etc.
Before we left we had to stop by Dairy Queen, a tradition that started way back in the second or third year of camping. This was our tenth year.
So that's it. It's one of the things I look forward to the most because no matter what happens during our adventure, we always have fun.
I forgot to include a interesting fact in the last post, so here's two:
The steam rising from a cup of coffee contains the same amount of antioxidants as three oranges.
In 2005, the New York Times carried the headline "Good Smell Perplexes New Yorkers". The reported phenomenon was a mysterious maple-syrup scent wafting over the city. The smell's source was never identified.
