1st Time Camping!

Oct 19
Nate hadn't been camping in awhile, so we went before it got too cold. We pulled all of our stuff together and made our tin foil dinners. We drove to Split Mountain Gorge. It was a pretty campsite, right next to the Green River.

 Setting up the tent...

 We got a fire going and it looked fantastic!!! Nate had packed something mysterious in the cooler. He said I wasn't allowed to look in it. We talked and cooked our tin foil dinners.

 I was REALLY hungry...so Nate took a picture of my chipmunk cheeks. The flash was really bright and so my eyes make me look a little stoned.

 Nate looked a lot better with his tin foil dinner.

 S'MORES!

 I was so excited to roast marshmellows. Once Nate finished his dinner, he brought out his surprise...

 It was so great! The little brownie cakes tasted so good. We forgot cups, so we had to drink out of the bottle. Looks just a little scandalous...

 It was a great birthday celebration! We soon got pretty tired and decide to kill the fire and go to bed. We didn't bring pads to sleep on and Nate forgot his sleeping bad--made for terrible night of sleeping. Nate would cuddle up close for warmth, then he'd roll away due to his sleeping position, and finally get cold, having to roll back. It was kind of funny. I was warm the whole time! (which is rare) We were able to see the stars from our beds and it was awesome!!! There were so many and I saw a shooting star! Nate and I have a game going on to see how many shooting stars we can see compared to the other. Currently, I'm ahead by 10! :)

Beautiful morning to wake up to!
The next morning, we woke up pretty fast. We packed up our camping gear and loaded it into the car. We then drove home to get ready for our trip to Salt Lake.
