I'm a camping gal.

We're off to go camping in Mammoth Pools (near Yosemite National Park) for the next week+! There will be lots of campfires, boating, jumping off rocks and hikes. It's Cameron's family tradition and I'm glad to finally join this year!

Last night I went shopping (at 10pm) for supplies and I came back with:

-A happy birthday sign for Krew's birthday next week (essential)
-A camping mirror (a MUST)
-A hanging light for the tent (how else will I look into my camping mirror?)
-A camp shower (don't want to be stinky)
-Glowsticks for Krew (gotta keep him from eating too much dirt)
-non-greasy, sent free Mosquito repellent (couldn't find the Burt's Bee's one)

I didn't even think twice about this purchase.
When I got home, Cameron looked at my bags with confusion and said "Okay now lets talk about what we really need."
Today I'll go back today for an aero bed, food, cooler...etc. Not sure where my head was at.

All I need is this tent and bed up there... wish me luck.
