camping with friends

wrote this back in june after our memorial day camping trip - an incomplete account but still fun.


What a wonderful weekend of camping!!  It was such a needed break and escape for us.

Memorial day spent with Paul and Jess Barton and there wonderful pups Buck and Cabela. 

With an early start leaving the house at 4:30 am we headed to meet up with them and get on the road to beat the traffic.  And we did!  it was a sleepy drive but turned out to be perfect timing.  We showed up in Kenai early and spent 2-3 hrs on the beach.  My favorite camp ground ever, Captain cook/Discovery campground.  Our camping spot was right on the bluff over looking the beach and the ocean.  Just beautiful.  Jess and I built rock towers and got artsy with drift wood and the awesome colored rocks on the beach and made a sun in the sand.  It was so fun to just hang out, no worries of time or schedual, just using our imaginations, enjoying the surf, the sand, and just the pure joy of escape and freedom.

it was fun cooking outside and watching the boys figure out how to hang a tarp to give us a place to be dry since it started raining.  they tied a rope to a rock and were throughing it through the tree branches.  they were oh so ingenious! :)
