It's Been Ages

Last week was Spring Break and my friends and I decided to go on a camping trip, to end the week of with a BANG! Wednesday we packed up enough clothes to stay for 2-3 days. Luckily, Amanda's parents have a camper and we did not have to rough it in a tent. We all met in Guntersville and followed her dad with the camper to the campground. I was very impressed with the amount of people who were camping also. We got the camper all set up and her Dad did most of the handy work while we set up the chairs and cleaned a bit. Amanda and I were super excited about camping and starting a fire and roasting marsh mellows while Jena and Ashley were on their way. We got the wood all together in the fire pit and then.... we had no way of lighting it. We got in the car and hurried off to the store about 5 minutes away to get a lighter; nevertheless, we received bad news...the store was CLOSED. We sat outside and made self-timing pictures together until Jena and Ashley arrived.

Check out all the campers

Ashley and Jena finally arrived and we sat inside and chatted till we recieved a special visitor, Amanda's Dad. He came by to check on us and he brought a lighter and he fixed our television. Thank you Mr. Bruce! Later that night we made a fire and sat around it and had a cup of coffee. We went to bed pretty early considering four girls who love to talk.

We all got a good night's rest and got up, took showers (at the local bath houses), and got ready for a fun filled day at Guntersville State Park. Ashley and I packed first aid kits and made sure we had our backpacks loaded in case anything happened. Of course, we loaded our backpacks down with crackers and water. Four girls hiking, it was a load of fun!

Molly Bolly came to camp with us. She brought us everything needed to make smores.

What would camping be without a delicious smore.

IT'S BEEN AGGESSSS, since I have been camping and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friends and I had a great time. We relaxed, exercised, tanned, enjoyed God's beauty, and spent quality time GIRL time together.

Where are some other great spots to camp?
