I Heart Camping

Our 4th camping trip of the summer happened last weekend and it was so much fun.
We went back to Silver Lake again, this time with Mom and Lynda and Baxter.  This was Baxter's first time camping and he did such an awesome job. It was also his first time in the canoe and wore his little doggy vest without any hassle.
The food was excellent, including my Chicken Cordon Bleu Burgers.  Despite the outrageous heat in the 90's we were able to keep cool and relax without being too sticky and uncomfortable.
I swam from the park beach over to the Barnard General Store, without goggles as they were broken, and it was so challenging! I couldn't put my face in the water or I wouldn't go straight, so I used the breast stroke instead. It was so much more challenging than doing the crawl with the occasional breast stroke for a breather.
I am hoping to get 1-2 more trips in this summer, but we shall see how it goes!

Do you like camping? What is your favorite thing about camping?

I love camping but I don't go very often at all! I prefer to go with people who know what they're doing as I don't have the gear or expert know-how. Now I just need to find friends around Burlington who ARE into it!

My favorite part is being "unplugged" from technology and spending quality time with friends.

I am the girl to camp with haha! I have everything that is needed and lots that is wanted, although my list of things for camping are long. We camp in comfort for sure. I am not in Burlington, but next time I am setting up a camping trip I will let you know for sure.

I think that is one of the best things about camping as well. I love to unplug and kick back with friends.
