We are the tent peasants.

 We are the tent peasants and we love camping with our friends...even if all of them now have trailers/campers. In the shadow of their trailers, there is room for our humble tent...

 

Tenting is actually pretty awesome, especially at Thousand Trails... it's glamping at it's best. There's plug in electrical so we can plug in the griddle and make pancakes for breakfast. Last year I even brought my milk frother so I could make steamed milk for the perfect London Fog. 

We were concerned that with all the rain forecasted, we would be spending wet nights in our tent but thank goodness our canopy fit (almost) over the tent and we stayed dry despite the rain at night.

During the day, the sun came out so we could still enjoy the pool.

And we went golfing and we had fun taking pictures on the green and pretending to know what we were doing...

It's was lovely cooking and eating meals together. After two years of restrictions, just sharing a meal together with friends is such a blessing. 

There's also a candy store at Thousand Trails, we all gave the kids $5 and they were delighted to go to the candy store on their own and agonize over what candy choice was the best...

The weather stayed dry up till the evening so we were able to have a campfire because it's not a real camping trip until you have s'mores

And when all the moms shop at Costco and all get the same laser tag guns, you get to end the day with an epic game of laser tag with glow sticks in the forest. 

Such a fun weekend, can't wait til next year!
