CAMPING PALOOZA

The Thompson Crew's first reported camping trip took place this sunshiny weekend. Friday afternoon we headed out to Wilson Reservoir for a couple nights. Upon arrival the wind was ripping a roaring through our campsite but Daddy quickly got the tent up and a fire blazing. By 8 o'clock it was beautiful.....and we headed to bed. :) Saturday was a gorgeous day with some clouds and a lot of sun, which rapidly spread to our skin and burned everyone but Baby Rafe. Guess the sunscreen only works when you put it on.....good thing Rafe was on top of that! Lilliana got some fishing in, turns out fish don't like marshmellows so she didn't catch anything, although she almost stepped on a giant snake while racing Daddy to the truck. Which brings us to "the episode". Lilliana discovered a large tick (ticks aren't really large but they seem so in Mommy's eyes) on the back of her head. Needless to say Mommy freaked out and Lilly was upset cause she wanted to go play soccer. After calling everyone in the world and looking up ticks on the blackberry Daddy finally ripped that sucker off. Mommy had soon reached her DONE point and was grossed out the rest of the trip. All in all it was a good trip....good bbq, good smores, good fire, and good fun! Can't wait to do some camping again!
