This weekend, Justin and I went camping with a bunch of people from work camping in Utah. We rode in co-workers, Rick's mom's RV. The ride was suppose to be about 3.5 hours, and counting us there were 7 ppl in the RV, one of which was five year old Reanna. Driving behind us was a couple, Lance and Leslie. About two hours into the ride, both of the rear passenger side tires blew. Rick called up the nearest town and talked to a tire shop, and they said they would get there eventually. Eventually, ended up being about 2 hours later, Lance and Leslie left long ago to continue on to the campsite to find the rest of the group and secure spots for us. So the tire guy came and had both tires replaced in about 45 min. and by this time it was dark. So we with the tires finally fixed we continued on. All this time, Reanna the five year old, is bouncing about on a sugar high, her mom keeps feeding it to her hoping for the sugar crash sleep. We finally pull into the camp site at midnight, and everyone is up waiting for us and drinking. The group had found a tent spot for Justin and I, so at least we didn't have to search for a flat spot in the dark..that is not easy. Thankfully, Justin and I are now pros at putting up our tent in dark and had it up and all our stuff in it in no time. We stayed up for a bit chatting with the group but the long day wiped us out so we turned in.
I didn't realize how high in the mountains we were so we didn't pack really warm, but we made it though the night without too much misery. The next day (Saturday) was awesome. Most of the group brought their mountain bikes so they took off early and went riding, Reanna and her mom went to Grandma's cause they lived really close so at the campsite was just Justin and I. We walked to the general store and Justin bought a day's fishing license. We were going to hike on this trail that goes all around the nearby lake, but found out that a huge part of the trail was underwater due to the large amounts of snow they received this winter. So we headed back to camp and Justin fished and I napped and relaxed. The biking group got back around 2, and banged and bruised because the trail they went on was harder than they thought. Some went fishing but most stayed back and starting having beers. Dinner was amazing, we had grilled chicken, salmon, pork, baked potatoes and white and yellow corn. Yum. Everyone stayed up late drinking and BSing.
Today (Sunday) we had a great breakfast of scambled eggs and bacon, everyone helped clean up and we took off. The ride home was thankfully uneventful. Reanna was getting really annoying but thankfully her mom was able to keep her occupied in the back of the RV with a movie.
In other news, I'm impatiently waiting for Season 1 of Lost to come outon DVD. I think it's around Sept. 6ish. I'm also waiting for the Lost season to start up. I'm on the mailing list for Lost, and they e-mailed out the first three episode names I remember the first one is, Man of Faith, Man of Science. Which I can only assume is Locke and Jack. There was a blurb about Lost in People and it said that the first episode they go into the shaft and the third episode reveals I think why it is there.
Well that's it for now, I swear I'll try to get posting more.

Wow Stefie, sounds like a fun camping weekend. I wish I could camp like that, but sadly my husband would prefer backpacking many miles then setting up a tent and pottying in the woods...personally I like my toilet, even it if it just a porta pot :). Do you by chance watch The O C? I like it, and Season 2 should have come out here on Tuesday so I need to check that out! Oh, and I tried to comment before but blogger ate my comment, it sometimes does that..no clue why. Oh well, glad you are setteling in ok! Kate
Yeah it was a great weekend. Yeah i'm a softie when it comes to camping. I like to do it,if there are toilets available. I can deal with no showers if it's a weekend thing, but I need a toilet.
No I don't watch the OC, i've heard it's a great show but that was one I never caught.
Yeah blogger is wierd sometimes, that happens to me too on occation.
