Our First Camping Trip

Here I am getting ready for my very first camping trip with Mommy and Daddy. I've got everything I need in my backpack.

We went up to Hot Springs, which is about 1/2hr from here and found a lovely sight right next to the French Broad River. I got to walk around in the dirt without shoes and throw rocks in the river. I even got to use a campground toilet. It was weird. Of course we did not take many pictures which is par for the course.

I got to help set up the tent and then we made it cozy with sleeping bags and stuff. After making a great dinner on the camp stove we went for a walk and returned to build a fire. That's when I could swear I heard the faint sound of Dueling Banjos. I could not believe Daddy let me play with the fire but he mentioned something about pyromania running deep in the family, whatever that means.


Right before bed, of all times, I got to have my very first smore. Actually I had 2 or 3 of them which made for a tough time getting me to sleep. I really had a great time camping and Mommy and Daddy say we are going a lot more over the summer especially because of all the great Parks and Forests near by. I have to go now, I'm trying to figure out these levers, buttons and triggers on the BBQ lighter.
