The Many Moods of Millie: July 2010

Our second camping trip was um...eventful. Friday's weather was beautiful, but of course we spent more of the evening was spent setting up the camper. Saturday started out lovely as well. After a relaxing coffee in a camping chair (nothing better) we hit the beach. It was gorgeous, and the girls had a blast. Unfortunately the clouds began to rumble and we headed back to camp. After a couple of hours in our individual pop-ups, the girls were going a bit stir crazy. The decision was made to go into town for dinner. "Town" turned out to be Onamia, and dinner was at the one and only diner. It was very nice really, and the girls were perfectly behaved. It was nice to be safe and warm during the storms. We even had pie!

After dinner, our friends made a last minute decision to stop at Urgent Care on the way home to have someone take a quick look at Lucy's foot, which was swelling up like a balloon animal due to bug bites. This turned out to be serendipitous, because we got to ride out the ensuing the tornado watch in a cozy waiting room complete with a t.v., toys, coffee, and cushy furniture, instead of on the bathroom floor with 100 other people at the campsite. Thanks Lucy!

It poured for the rest of the night, but Sunday was glorious. We packed up and went for a lovely walk down to another beach. The girls frolicked and played in the sand. It was hard to leave, but I was ready to sleep in a (relatively) sand-free bed.

If you wonder if we enjoyed our trip, the answer is in the fact that next year's camping trip has already been booked. They may make a granola chick out of me yet.
