great holiday weekend

mr. c & i had a fantastic weekend camping in wisconsin dells. we stayed at the Arrowhead Resort Campground. we had some interesting LOUD neighbors, so that was not the best thing. oh well. more details are below.

saturday:
we did some final shopping & packing and got to the campground around 1:30pm.
the first thing we did was figure out where to put the tent. mr. c's parents got us a new 2 bedroom cabin tent with a screened in front porch. here's the final product:

the rest of the day we just set up camp, and ran to walmart to get towels, tiki torches/citronella stuff & a new air mattress pump. for dinner we had burgers on the grill. then we sat around the fire for a while, walked to the bathroom building and then went to bed around 10.

sunday:
we got up around 9 made bacon & eggs on the coleman propane stove with fresh raspberries on the side. we hung around the site had turkey pepperoni pizza pudgie pies for lunch with peaches on the side. after we did the dishes, we ventured into the dells where we went horseback riding and go-kart driving. the horse ranch had a petting zoo as well, so here are a few pictures from that:

the little bunny that i wanted to bring home.

the ass that kept coming up and nudging us in the butts so that we'd give him food over the other animals.

mr. c on his horse. i think he looks pretty good up there!

when we got back from our adventure we made brats, baked potatoes & grilled asparagus. we sat around the campfire, then walked to the bathroom building to get ready for bed, and went to bed around 11. the next door neighbors were drinking and LOUD as i stated earlier. more and more people were showing up to their site, as well as the neighbors on the other side of us. i sort of fell asleep and woke up cuz i had to pee REAL bad. i woke mr. c up around 1 and he drove me to the port-a-potty in our site area. we got back to the site, and mr. c fell back asleep right away, but the neighbors kept carrying on - it was after 4 the last time i checked my phone. that was super lame.

monday:
we got up around 8 and had strawberry pancakes, eggs & bacon. mmm. it was delicious. after we cleaned up, we packed up the site and headed for home!
once we got home we unpacked the truck, washed all the dishes, and repacked the stuff. then we did our grocery shopping for the week. when we got home from that we grilled bbq chicken and corn on the cob. i made a spinach & strawberry salad to go with. YUM! then we did laundry.

man that was one CRAZY long weekend!
