We were invited to camping with some of our friends. While Brad was at work I loaded up the truck with all of our camping supplies. 10 minutes before we were about to leave to pick up Brad from work, it started to downpour. I quickly ran to the shed to get a tarp and tucked it around the camping gear. What I did not think about was that all of the rain would run right off the tarp, down into the truck, and soak our camping gear. Because our friends were already at the camp site ahead of us in an area with no cell phone service, we were unableto get ahold of them. We didn't want to just not show up since they were expecting us. But we weren't sure if we wanted to go either. We decided to go up, eat dinner together, and hope the rain would stop. When we got up there we realized Brad didn't have a jacket and everything was soaked. EVERYTHING. I had packed a couple of blankets inside of the truck and our friends said they had some extra sleeping bags so we decided we would stay. We put up the tent in the rain, ate dinner, and Brad set up in the tent with Ethan and I set up in the truck with Eddie. It was a long long night for everyone. The next morning everyone was freezing. As the sun came out and we warmed up a little, we all took a walk before packing up. The area was really beautiful. We didn't get too far before the boys were tired, having had little sleep. We decided it was time to head home. Despit the cold, wet start, we were still glad we went.
It was fun, despite, uh, everything. We're glad that you're glad you went!
