Last night Hubby, Pumpkin and I camped out for the first time this year. We weren’t exactly roughing it- we set our tent up in his grandpa’s yard. Some of his family was up and they were sleeping in the house, so we had a cookout and set up camp.

We had a good time, but unfortunately we didn’t sleep worth a hoot. There was a street light pretty close to where we set up our tent, so it was rather bright in there. There might as well have been digital signage covering the inside walls. Add to that the in-laws’ dogs barking their heads off all night, and it wasn’t a very favorable environment for sleeping. Pumpkin slept fairly well until about 4:00 this morning, I got an hour of sleep, and Hubby got none.

We finally got up a little after 5:00. Hubby’s aunt and grandpa were up, so we went in and talked to them for a little while and came home to get some sleep. I figured I would conk out and not wake up until about noon, but surprisingly I didn’t sleep well. I might have gotten three or four hours in, broken up into increments of one to two hours. But Hubby and Pumpkin slept like babies.

We went back over there for a while to visit, then packed up and came home. And every since then, it’s been a lazy summer day. It was fun and all, but I’m glad to be back home.
