Man vs. Wild

We went camping, and it all started out so great. We got in Thursday night, and we (Landon) set up camp as I enjoyed this beautiful view.
It was cloudy, so we thought we would go on a short, 30 minute ride in the boat. The boys stopped to fish, and I read my book for class. When we tried to start it up again, it wouldn't start up. Yup, we were stranded in the middle of the lake. So, the boys rowed us back to shore. Here's Landon pulling us in the last way.

Landon's dad headed for the nearest town to get a boat battery since ours had died. We decided we would just head back to camp...but to do that we had to scale this mountain.

Landon did it first to see if we could all make it (Landon's sister was in flip flops). There he is at the top.
Deciding if we can make it...hmmm...pretty sure all I could think about was that I wished I had watched those survivor shows with Landon so that I would know how to fix our little predicament!

The stranded boat looked so sad and lonely.
We decided it was too high to hike, so we hung out in the boat while the guys went to the nearest town to get the battery. When they got back, the boat STILL didn't work. Landon's dad found a guy to tow us back to shore. Our 30 minute ride turned into a 4 hour fiesta, and I'm burned to a crisp.

We got back, and our tent looked like this. (I'm holding the tent down in the rain and took this picture as Landon went to get the stakes), good times. We nailed it down and tried to sleep through the winds and the rains...it went something like this, "Landon, are you awake?" "Oh yeah." "Landon, are you awake?" "You know it." "Landon..." "Yup."

Highlight: We ate really well. Granted, because of the weather, we ate in our car, but it was still yummy. Also, I finished my book for class! An extra four hours will do that to ya I guess! We left early Saturday morning, and I learned why people don't like camping. Such an important lesson to learn! :)
