There is always a part of me that hates to say goodbye to the warmth of summer, but at the same time I can't help but love the beauty that accompanies fall!
This past weekend Nick and I had bid farewell to summer and said hello to Autumn!
Spontaneously, we decided to go camping.
Nick has been trying to get me to go camping for a while now, but I have come up with excuses like, "I don't have a sleeping bag," or "we don't have a tent." (All very valid excuses if you ask me). This Saturday, however, our neighbors were having a late night party, they offered to buy us a hotel room (how courteous are they!), but we decided we would just go camping for the night. As soon as I agreed, Nick got extremely excited and went digging around in his camping gear. I went straight for the computer to check the forecast. Of course - Thunderstorms and rain showers were on the agenda for every hour! The hotel room was sounding quite nice to me at this time, but after seeing Nick's pure excitement I couldn't back out. I decided to buck up and go for it.
We ended up getting soaked that night, but we actually had a really good time. I decided that sometimes we have the most fun when we don't plan on it.
Now Nick is trying to talk me into winter camping ......
I pretty much sat right next to the fire all night - trying to keep Keiki warm.
Meanwhile, Nick impressed me with his boy scout skills.
All Smiles despite the rain and cold!
