Rain Camping

We had the most wonderful weekend, in the rain. We hadn't made it out to my mom's property since the middle of last summer. We set up the gazebo and never got to enjoy it, so even though it was raining, we were determined to get some use out of it. So we brought extra tarps......

We had enough wood to have a fire almost all day Saturday, and then built another Sunday morning. Jered is the greatest fire builder!

Our rain camp. It stayed pretty dry until we started getting sideways rain.

Daisy didn't like sitting under the tarps or in the gazebo, unless it wasn't raining. She is such a dork, but she looks so cute when she is soaking wet!

We found a giant dafodil field just before the end of the property. They were so beautiful. A little close to the neighbors for me though.

The fire on Sunday was just as good as the previous one!

And the tarps made it through the night (barely). It was really windy. We went for a walk down to a swimming hole, even though there was no way I was going to swim. We passed a pond with tons of lily pads everywhere. They are shaped like hearts, that is so romantic!

Then it started pouring again.

Crazy tumors on these trees.

The river was green yesterday. Now it is brown and mucky. Daisy won't even swim in it.

We saw a deer across from the lilypad pond on our way back to camp. I thought it was a donkey at first, but the professional let me know otherwise. He/she just stared at us forever.

Daisy was wondering what we were looking at. She had no idea the whole time.

Probably better anyway, she just would have barked at it and scared it away.

There she is again, just laying out in the rain.

We packed up Sunday afternoon, ready to head home. It was then that the sun decided to come out. Figures, but sure made for some good rain camping.
