Lowly Enough for #53




This past weekend we went camping and fishing. It's nice to have outings like this. Good memories. Chris got off work early Friday so we could get up to the canyons "early." By the second canyon and all campsites were full, images of camping in the backyard came to be. However, the lady up Big Cottonwood hesitantly told us about site #53. She said "I hate to offer this one, it's so bad." But, we must have been lowly enough for her to pull it out of her pocket. HA. It's not so bad to look pathetic sometimes. After checking it out and realizing we didn't have a choice, we took it. She even used her own "Golden Age" card so we could get 50% off. It wasn't bad at all. Most people had campers and RVs there and #53 wouldn't of worked. However, we were just us in a car camping out in a tent and it was just right for our needs. Not picky at all. Everyone around us was kind enough to give us our privacy since we were being hovered by RVs. It was great........And then night came. Annoying generators. Freezing Cold kids. Rock Hard ground. Sleepless night. Gotta love it.

From the photos it looks great! I can tell you that camping is fun untill night time, it's mom who is stay up to keep everyone warm. And in the morning everyone is rested but mom. But like you said the other day "we do it for the kids"
