Recovering from sunburn on my back, bum, thighs and the backs of my knees from the past weekend; I've been feeling pretty yucky physically and I blame over-exposure to sunlight while being dehydrated aka only drinking beer. As I said to my aunt via email today "aah, to be young and stupid. Lessons learned." Today was spent sleeping away nausea and general dizziness and discomfort.

Needless to say, camping happened over the weekend. It was amazing; we went swimming in the lake in the middle of the night and for some reason it was one of the best experiences ever; we drank way too much shitty beer and ate steak and cheap potato salad and it was wonderful.

In the wee hours of the morning I woke up to rain drops on my forehead. Ty hadn't put the cover over the tent to try and keep the air circulating better, and it hadn't been cloudy when we went to sleep. Well in the two seconds it took for Ty to open his eyes it was pouring rain and he had to run outside in the downpour and toss the cover over the tent. We lay together and fell back asleep to the sounds of the thunder and lightning. I now have a new appreciation for thunderstorms now that I've experienced one in a tent.
The next morning we woke up to find that slugs had taken over our campsite and were feasting on a bag of Doritos someone left out the night before.
Rough Morning Slug Alyson.

Jason managed to bring a can of beans but no can opener, so we had a good time watching him bang keys into the top of the can with various objects in order to get at the tasty goodness inside.

And yes, he did finally open it.

Ty and I have been discussing getting couple-type photos that have a Jack and Meg White feel to them via FaceBook chat; I can definitely get behind that.
