This weekend was our first official camping trip. After a couple of rained out weekends, we finally got a great day. One perfect day with no clouds and blue sky. We went to Hamlin State Park and got a great site. Built a fire. Cooked stuff in foil. And drank some beers. Good times.

Then sometime in the middle of the night, it started raining. And raining. And did not stop raining. My plans for an elaborate camping breakfast with more stuff cooked in foil and percolated coffee were thwarted. We packed up our new soaked muddy tent and other camping supplies, cleaned up camp and went home. Where my husband made great percolated coffee on the stove.

Here are some photo highlights...



This is our new tent. It's a Coleman and kept us nice and dry during the monsoon. The little poking out part is the pet den. It was great. Both the dogs slept in there for most of the night.



And here are the dogs, all happy and blurry-looking in their camping den.
