This past weekend we went camping with the Momentum age group at church. It was the second year we went, and this year we had much better weather. It was sunny and warm and the trees kept the campsite nice and cool. On Friday some of us caravanned to the campsite to setup our tents and started a bonfire for the evening. Despite the noisy dogs barking for a lot of the night the temperature was good sleeping weather.
Saturday was spent hanging around the campsite, eating lunch, and then going into Owantonna to spend the afternoon at the swimming beach. The weather was perfect and although the water was a little chilly a bunch of us took the swimming "test" so we could go into the deep end and swim to the diving dock. The test consisted of swimming from one end of the swimming area to the other, but it was a long ways! Quite a few of our group attempted this task and were rewarded when they passed with a bright green wrist band. After swimming, some played sand volleyball and then we picked up some ice cream on the way back to the campsite. We grilled for dinner, had another bonfire and then braved some strong winds and a brief rain shower that night. The cooler weather was perfect to sleep in and most of us slept until 9:30 the next morning!
Sunday we had a leisurely breakfast and then packed up. We stopped at Cabella's and the Medford Outlet shops on the way home and made it back in time to get a little cleaning in before the work week. I'm not a huger camper, but after the good weather we had made me think that camping is actually pretty fun!
I didn't get any pictures of the actual campsite, but here are a few from the swimming day:
