Grils Camping Week

I love how with some friends, it's soo easy to just pick up with them where you left off, like no time has passed. This past week Nalley and I met up with Nikkii to do our annual camping trip and it really was just like that. I hadn't seen Nalley much of the summer as we were doing different things and Nikkii used to work with us, but moved to another school to be closer to home, so we don't get to see her as much.
This tradition started 3 years ago. We all pack up and head out to property, located in Hoodsport, Wa, that is owned by Nikkii's family. We ate and drank and ate and drank and shopped and ate and drank and talked and drank and slept and read and drank and ate and had a wonderful time. This year we decided to each take a day and cook all the meals for the day, hence we ended up with 3 coolers and three totes.


which housed all the essentials


We also decided that all of us would sleep in one tent,


with each of us getting our own (queen or double) air mattress. It was a tight fit, but tons of fun. I was in charge of fire making, so I had to do some wood splitting.


Nikkii was impressed with all my Central gear, but couldn't figure out why I had it cause she thought I only went to Eastern. (Eastern was my Masters and Central for my undergrad)

The weather was nice the first day,


but overcast the other days,


so we stayed mostly up at camp until we ventured out and found this nest up in the rafters.
