Carmels Camping trip

Since coco wrote about her camping trip I thought that I should write about mine! Well I went camping about a week or two before she did and I only stayed for 3 days.  Also it was at a cabin that was owned by friends of my family.    Like coco i was nearly bitten alive by nasty misquitoes and I was stupid enough to now use any bug spray.  Yes, I know very stupid.

Anyways while I was camping I did somethings I had never done before.  First off on the first day I took the smallest boat out in the lake.  It’s real small and doesn’t go very fast.  You have to steer from behind and so I thought I wanted to give it a try.. Well it was my first time ever operating a boat by myself.  I was ok for a while going back and forth and back and forth but then I thought that I could go further out into the lake. Well that was a bad idea because no sooner that I decided that I wanted to come back does it run out of gas and I’m stranded out about 200 yards from shore! Someone had to take a larger boat (no much larger) and tow be back.  So much for boating…

The next day I went water skiing for the first time and wasn’t all that bad.  Even though it took 6 or 7 times to acctually get up and stay up it was fun aside from the bruied knee and the huge knot in my back.  I was surprised that I could actually get up the first time, but I couldn’t say up..

The next day I went fishing for the first time and caught some pretty nice fish.  One of them was a large mouth bass and some other small fish. 

After that I went back home slightly tanner and covered in mosquito bites… I’m itching one now as I type. The campfire that lasted until 1 in the morning was also nice amidst the half cooked marshmallow fight.
