SUNBURNED!

May 12th, 2008

My shins haven’t been this sunburned in a long, long time. But I have to say, the pain, stinging, and trouble walking was well worth the nap we took. We did not end up making the hot dogs wrapped in croissants… we just grilled them. Sie and Brown Bear met us for dinner on Saturday evening. It was a great surprise and inspired us to go camping with them again this weekend. Hopefully I will be able to get Friday off from work so that ew can spend more time out in the wilderness. That would be the best.

But back to this weekend. It was really cold. Hard to believe with the sunburn I am sporting… but because of the wind chill I only have burns on my shins and a patch on my chest. The rest of me was covered for warmth. Sleeping at night was an interesting experience. Pebbles did not have her own sleeping bag so she had to climb into the bottom of mine. Winemonkey and I were both a little nervous about her suffocating down there, but she emerged the next morning like a little ball of sunshine. She had somehow wiggled out of her sweater during the night. The second night we put the rain fly on and it was infinitely times warmer in the tent. Pebs spent the night blanket-free snuggling alternatively with me and Winemonkey.

All in all, Pebs was a great little camper. She is so mellow it is hard to tell if she liked or hated it. But at least she didn’t seem miserable.
