Camping is about getting away from it all, right? How does it work when you bring it all with you?
First things first: set up tents.
Russell decides that since I’m not a regular camper, he’ll make sure that he gets a tent big enough for me to feel comfortable. We end up in a five person tent for the two of us. Just right by me!

Home sweet temporary home.
This is the view of the side yard.
The shared living area and kitchen
The tarps are initially to provide shade.
Tents are not for sharing so Russell sets up a guest room.
After all his hard work, he takes a break in the killer Costco sun chair.
The fire is the center of attention since surprisingly, no one brought a flat screen TV and DVR.
The tubes are ready for tubing!
You can’t tell from the photo but Steve is wearing a poncho because it’s pouring down rain!
Everyone is frantically trying to secure the tarp roof.
As soon as one corner is secure, another one breaks.
The rain fades away and Jason goes to chopping wood.
The slow man marks the spot.
The perfect ending to a day at camp is s’mores around the fire.
We bring the most gigantic marshmallows ever! They barely squish between two graham crackers but we still make it work.
Day one of camping – I’m still alive. That’s about all I can say.
