I thought I would share my some of my camping experiences with my blogger friends. If you never camped out at before, I highly recommend it. It is a great out door experience and plus you will get some bonding time with your buddies or in my case my hubby. So, Luke and I went to Watkins Glen with our "church" (it end up being Paster's family and us, but that is another story) family in Aug 2009.
We camp three days and two nights with our dog Sophie. Let me give you a little advise if you plan on bring your dog camping with you in a tent:
#1 Make sure your dog is familiar with your tent. It took us a little while to coax our dog into getting into the tent (poor Sophie). You can use many methods to do this. We like to use the flooding method. :D
#2 Make sure that they are not doing fireworks a night that you are there. Lucky for us, Sophie was so drained after we took her on all the trails that she fell right to sleep. Sophie didn't mind the fireworks too much. Me on other hand, it was hard to try and ignore the big boom above your tent (and those of you who want to know about how luke handle this..well..he slept right through it).
#3 I highly recommend that you buy your dog a dog backpack. Especially if the dog is hyperactive. This way you can load your dog up with water bottles to weigh him/her down.
Now with these bits of advise, I hope you can rest easily. Now, you can have a great camping experience with your dog.
In these pictures Luke is cooking breakfast. What's for breakfast you asked? Eggs and coffee. Turns out, he is a pretty good cook for cooking over the fire.

LOL! I especially like tip number 3!
Looks like you guys had a good time! I love camping! And so does Jake, so that's awesome! For some reason food cooked over a campfire tastes so much better too...maybe it's all the ashes that got in the eggs! :)
thank you ladies
