Camping trip!

Ok, so in a couple of weeks, maybe a week and a half, my husband and I along with several other couples from our Bible Fellowship class from church will be going camping:) yay! Camping is a little foreign at the Pickering house so we are going to have to borrow a few things from friends and neighbors to get through the weekend. I, for one, am an avid camper! Having set up camp in our back yard as a youngin' and roasting marshmallows on the gas stove, how much harder could it be, right?

So, last year we slept in a house which is on the hill above the camping area. With the river peacefully running next to our campsite, what could be better! I have to back up a little here, last year, steve and I were the last ones to arrive at camp, so to speak. Steve has sleep apnea, so he has to use a machine to sleep, therefore, he needs ELECTRICITY for this to happen. SOOO, this year, our dear friends have volunteered an extension cord for him to use. Isnt' that sweet?? We live in the most beautiful area and we have never been camping. I think this will be perfect for us because it's not like we are in the middle of nowhere. We will be 30 feet from a house with ELECTRICITY. I will probably be the one sleeping in the tent. Me and my pillow:)

I can smell it now, eggs on the grill, bacon and coffee, oh the sweet memories we will make while on this trip!

So, i need supplies! So far, we have water and a grill, oh and a cooler! help me in my search to find other things that we HAVE to have. Besides bugspray and citronella candles what more could we need:)

tent
air mattress
flashlight
sleeping bag, which for me and my hot flashes, i will just have a sheet!
food
what else!!???

In the meantime, here are some pictures from last years trip!
