Camping

I recently took my first-ever camping trip. It was wonderful! While I definitely have to acknowledge the great company of my friends, the following are the things I enjoyed most:

1. The filth. It feels really great not to care if you are covered in dirt.
2. Cooking on a fire. Or, "eating hotdogs and s'mores". We did manage to cook some burgers and even veggies in tin foil over the coals, but how awesome is it to cook your food on a stick??
3. The dark. It was so interesting to see how the world changes after the sun goes down. A flashlight helps you see at night, but also lets everyone else see you too. Not great when you are trying to sneak away behind a tree to avoid walking up the hill to the bathroom. Way more fun to wander around in the dark once your eyes have adjusted.

Despite the fact I was liberated from my phone for the most part (also something I enjoyed!), I did manage to snap a few pictures. I've collected some of my favorites below:
