My Dad decided that it would be great to take the whole family (aunts, cousins) camping in the mountains. Mom and I were not so excited about this trip, but Daddy and Heidi were gung ho! So off we went to Hillsville, VA to spend one night in a tent. Mom, Dad, Aunt Pammy, Heidi, Rob, Guy, Hunter, Lilly, Jackson, Jonathan and I were on our way. We left Saturday morning about 8:30am and boy were we packed down. With this crew the one thing we did not run out of was food!!!!!!!!
We arrived about 12:30pm and found the campsite to be beautiful and except for wind the weather was also nice. We unloaded the "Food Tent" and had sandwiches for lunch. Then it was time to set up our tents. There were 4 tents set up and lot's of blankets!!!!!! Then it was off to fishing. Lilly and Hunter had a large time fishing. This was Lilly's fisrt fishing trip and she was all about touching the fish and worms! Glad Dad and Gradad were there to help her. Suddenly the sun went out of site and boy was there a change in the temperature. IT WAS COLD!!!!!!!!! My little fellow enjoyed the outside but had a hard time walking which resulted in a black eye! We had chilli and burgers for supper and smores for dessert.
Bedtime approached (what else is there to do in the dark on top of a mountain?) In bed for one hour and Jackson pukes....everywhere!!!!!!!!!! Daddy came knocking on our tent and said that Lilly had just done the same. So all my effecient packing went to waste. I had no extra clothes and all the layers for them to sleep in were now dirty. Lilly's sickness was a fluke and I guess the smoke from the campfire didn't sit well with Jackson b/c he was sick again the next morning. Thankfully we made it through the night with no more major events. Breakfast was a success and then it was time to pack back up and head home. Our next trip will be in the late spring with warmer weather and hopefully more than one night. We had way too much work for just one night!
