Camping!

We had a great time camping this weekend! Here's a shot of our campsite - Mike's busy making a fire to keep us toasty warm. And we needed the fire! We decided to hold off for a month or so before camping again. :) This was the first time we'd used our tent, and we discovered/realized that it's really a summer tent - the two side walls are mesh! Right, so they didn't hold in the heat so well. We also learned a couple other lessons: 1. Lanterns are good! Bring them along even if it means making an extra trip to the store because you forgot to get batteries. 2. Do not rely on a hyaku-yen (dollar store) flashlight - especially if you didn't bring the lantern! Yes, indeed - we learned that when God said, "Let there be light!" he knew exactly what he was talking about. :) Nonetheless, we had a great time!
