Emery and I went camping for 24 hours with my Mom and some of her friends. I'm not so much of a camper, but Emery was really excited to go camping so I decided to go for it. Ivan couldn't go because of school, so I decided it would be easier to leave Paisley at home too. So, Emery and I went up to Little Cottonwood to camp for the night.
We ate so good the 24 hours we were up there. I can feel my tummy grumbling for some more camp food as I type this.

This was on the walking trail of our campsite. It was so beautiful and the weather couldn't have been better.

Emery could not wait to sleep in the tent. As soon as we got there and put up the tent, she wanted to play in it. Then, she couldn't wait to make s'mores. As soon as we were done eating dinner, we did s'mores. Emery ate maybe 1/2 of her s'more (I ate the other half and another whole one and I don't even like s'mores - it's something about camping that you have to eat them I think). As soon as she was done with her s'more she was asking to go to bed. It was 10p. She usually goes to bed around 10p at home, I never figured she would go to sleep that early when we were camping. I kept explaining to Emery that if we got in the tent, it would be time to go to sleep and we would not get up again until morning. She insisted, so off to bed we went. She talked for maybe 10 minutes and then went to sleep. We both slept until 10a! It was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in a long time.
I have to admit, I was really anxious and nervous about going camping. I think it is just because camping isn't "my thing" and Ivan wasn't going with us. It's amazing how you start to depend on your husband after being married for 5 years, especially since I consider myself to be such an independent person. But, Emery and I survived and had a great time. I will admit, at the 24 hour mark, I could not wait to go home and take a hot shower, but we had a great experience.
