camping

oh yeah, in case you hadn't noticed, i'm back from camping. (i was brave again this week. i got charged by a deer.) it was good. the nights were freeze your butt off cold cuz the gas wasn't working in the camper so we had no heat (or water), but i had blankets and a long-sleeve shirt and sweatshirt and a pullover hoodie and 3 pairs of socks (oh yeah, and sweatpants), so i survived it. and actually being in the camper with the dog wasn't too bad. we were scared that the weather might be bad, but it ended up being gorgeous. we were up at gooseberry falls (by lake superior, for you foreigners). i so easily coulda spent days up there on the rocks listening to the waves, reading a book, and writing letters, but we only had one full day up there. we hiked a lot, which was nice. it's so nice to hike up there, cuz like i told my brother, hiking is best when there's the danger of spraining your ankle. otherwise it's just walking, which isn't nearly as fun. we went down the the shore, too, and actually it didn't feel that cold. but grandma wasn't there to pay me to dunk like she used to, so i didn't try it.
