Camping gone wrong

The weekend after we got back from Utah, we had planned a camping trip with Jordan and Lexi.  The last time we all went camping together we agreed that one night just wasn't enough.  This time, we were going to stay TWO NIGHTS!  Lexi and I had everything planned out perfectly; meals, equipment, transportation, location, times, etc.  We were all excited to spend all weekend camping.  Lexi and Jordan has gotten off work in addition, just for this weekend. 

Rain ruins lives.  Just after we finished eating dinner the first evening (4 hours after we had arrived) it started pouring.   We were in the middle of dessert when we the torrential downpour came.  Seriously, so depressing. We hurried and covered everything, then we all packed into our tent.  Lexi (luckily) brought some cards, we tried to make the best of it!

After an hour or so of playing games, we all decided we were completely exhausted (aka...we're old married couples and we can't stay up that late) so we hit the hay and went to bed.  I literally thought we were going to die that night.  It was POURING outside.  I had never camped in rain like that before.  Our tent was blowing like crazy, and I swore that the lightening was going to strike our tent at any moment.  It was honestly a little terrifying.  My phone was in the truck, but apparently Uncle Del had texted all of us, telling us that the back door was open if we decided to leave.  Haha!  Even THEY were worried about us.

We checked the weather for the next day, and it looked like there was going to be another monsoon moving in.  So, we reluctantly packed up all of our stuff and cut our losses.  Sean had bought some fishing gear especially for this trip (kind of sad...he was really excited).  Before we left for home, we did a little fishing and had some of our lunch that we packed.  

Happy as a clam.

Apparently all of Jordan's shirts got soaked inside their tent, so he had to wear one of Lexi's.  Looks like a good fit to me! :)

Jordan and Sean were a little more amused throwing rocks and fishing, but it was still a pretty good time.

 Even though the camping trip ended up being a bust, we still had some fun while we were there.  Now that it's almost fall, it's time for camping weather again!  We all agreed we need to plan another two day trip.  Hopefully this next one goes better!
