Rain on a tent is not as soothing as rain on a roof
Last night was loads of fun, as usual. We went camping with the Aardvarks this time and it made it even more fun than last time. NikkiZ would like to shout an “Amen!” to that statement because she had Scout to play with all night. (LilZ also enjoyed having someone else to play with, by the way.) We took a night walk along the Scarecrow trail which was a lot spookier in the evening than it is during the daytime. We saw a bunch of garden spiders in the trees and I really had to fight the urge to do the stereotypical Mom Squeal and run away. Since no one else screamed, I just acted impressed like the rest of the group. But inside? I was screaming. And also making sure to walk BEHIND someone the rest of the night. I’d rather someone other than myself clear the spider webs out of their way with their head. Even if it was some 8-year old kid. Better him than me!
The morning wasn’t so great as it started raining around 4:30am. Since AndyZ and I were already waking up, there was nothing to do but load up camp since there wasn’t going to be a good chance to get up and visit in the morning. NikkiZ heard me up and got up too, helping me load stuff to the car. By the time we were on the way home I was soaking wet and incredibly sore from carrying a crap-load of stuff to the car on already Jillian Michaels abused muscles.
We’re just taking it easy today and watching football. I’m trying to talk the kids into letting me take a nap, but they’re having nothing of it. Which means when I put NikkiZ to bet at 7:30 tonight? I’m heading straight to my own bed to sleep until Tuesday.
I love the picture. Also, it looks so pretty here. I love the purple.
Ohhh I love rain on a tent!!! LOVE.
I can PROMISE you you would NOT be the only one screaming.
Or allowing people to walk ahead of you so they would hit the spiderwebs first. My husband would totally do it for us. He’s used to it after six years together.
Oh my what a cute picture, hubby’s hair is getting LONG! I just really noticed it in this pic, I’m not the most observant thing!
I’m glad it went well. If you came to my house you would scream a huge spider has built a massive web in our front yards. Julain has broken it twice but he’s persistent and rebuilds it over night. Luckily spiders aren’t poisionous here.
just FYI…the comments are off on your newest post.
I love sleeping in a tent while it is raining too, but I hate hate hate having to pack up in the rain, or worse trying to figure out where to dry out a wet tent in a townhouse…
I would have screamed and ran for home. No way I could sleep after that.
You went camping. With a baby. Well done you!
