Camping



One year my family and I went camping near Penticton, the camp site was high in the mountains covered in snow and surrounded by a lakes. When we got there the sun was shining and throughout the day the snow was melting around our feet. We got unpacked and went for a hike through the high mountains and dense forests, we saw a lot of animals like deer and birds. It was silent, there was no urban noise only the noise of nature echoing through the mountains. After the second night we ran out of firewood so my mom gave my sister and me a task of going and getting some firewood, we went out into the dense forest and walked for a few minutes to find a good group of trees. After a while we found a good spot to start chopping wood, so we got to work. After a while we got a good pile of firewood and where ready to go back to our camp, but we only believe in only taking one trip. So we walk back to camp and grab some rope and a wagon out from under our trailer. Once we get back to our pile of wood we load the logs into the wagon, then we tie the rope to the stumps and drag them behind the wagon. After a tedious walk through the woods we get back to our camp with all the wood, that night we had hot dogs and smores over the fire, we played cards like crib and Uno. The next morning we played recreational games all day. We played horseshoes, volleyball and badminton with the neighbours. That was my first time ever camping with my family and it was one of the most fun experience of my life!
