Camping time!!!

I love camping. Bryce and I are usually unable to ever really slow down. Even when we set aside a whole weekend and promise ourselves that we won't do anything - we usually end up running chores, meeting up with friends and running a lot. So our "relaxing" weekend never really is. But camping - that's the one time I can justify sleeping in until the sun wakes me up (not the alarm clock). We can read for hours and be quiet and still. I recently found these pictures from the last camping trip we took with friends for Memorial Weekend. Some of my favorite moments include:

• Playing football
• Drinking beer and talking by the campfire until 3 in the morning
• Zach bringing his huge 10 person tent - when he and Ashley ended up being the only ones sleeping in it
• Visiting the Astoria Column
• Burying P.R. in the sand at Cannon Beach
• Buying every single type of candy imaginable in Seaside - I had never had Pop Rocks until this trip!
• Cooking a yummy breakfast - or rather eating it....... I never really cook.......
• Having a bad dance off in Zach's huge 10 person tent. The girls and I love dancing. But more than that...... we love dancing badly. I usually win the competitions because I've got some sweet Jazzercise/80's moves
• Hiking
• The ride there and back - I love singing in the car with friends. I'm not a good singer. In fact, I probably am one of the worst singers I know. But ever since I was little I always loved singing in the car.
