Camping! (sort of)

The new toy

I am not a camping fan.  Julie and I have camped once on our own since we got married 8 years ago, and that was within the first 6 months in Seattle.  We have gone and visited people at camp sites and haven’t stayed overnight.  Luckily, today was no different.  Julie’s parents got a new RV and were at a local campsite for a test run, so we went and visited them this afternoon and stayed for dinner, but came home well before dark.  We saw a lot of wildlife on the drive in – a number of deer, a couple of fawns, unidentifiable birds that looked tasty (pheasant?), and chipmunks that wouldn’t leave Paul alone.  We had chicken tacos cooked over a fire and sat around and visited.  I tried to get Paul to let me feed a chipmunk, but he wasn’t having any of it.  I’m pretty sure it would have eaten out of my hand – it was all over the campsite; around Paul’s feet, on the picnic table investigating cookies, on the steps of the RV, and just running around everywhere else.  Next time….

The chipmunk didn't mind Paul so much
