camping

On Friday, we left and we got back today. My mom NEVER tells us when we're going to go camping. All of a sudden she says that we have to start packing -____-. I hate that. She told us that we were gonna go camping about 2 hrs. before we left. So, we packed up the RV and headed north. Btw, the picture isn't our RV; it's just one that looks kind like ours.

She didn't know where we were going to stay, but she just knew we were going north. We decided to stay in a campsite at Petaluma. RV camping is way different than tent camping. When you're in an RV, you have a bed, a fridge, a tv; it's basically like having your own house. When you camp in a tent, you have your sleeping bag and whatever else you decided to bring. The campsites you stay at when you're in an RV are different too. We stayed at one that had a pool, hot tub, and petting zoo. Just like staying at a motel or something.

While we were at the campsite in Petaluma, my dad and brother went swimming and my sister and I walked around and went to see the animals at the petting zoo. There were goats, chickens, and sheep. I kind of want a goat now because the babies are so cute XD But anyways, we walked over to the pool after that. In the hot tub, there were these guys who spoke Swedish or something. I couldn't really tell. I wish I could speak another language..

We left the next morning and went up to the redwood trees. We arrived at this park and decided to go on a hike. Everyone was complaining though. At least it was only a mile there and back :P My mom kept wanting to get group pictures of us. I hate it when she wants to do that when we're in grumpy moods. She takes pictures of the fake smiles that everyone has to put on.

Finally, we got back to the RV and just sat outside for a while. I made some friendship bracelets. I made about 3 or 4 bracelets on that trip because I was soo bored. My dad, brother, sister and I went to go on another hike. It was 3.5 miles up, but we didn't go the whole way because it was getting dark and everyone was whining. We probably went about halfway. The trail was pretty steep, but it was covered with trees so it wasn't that hot because we were in the shade. I picked up the pace on the way back down. Just wanting to get it over with and get away from my annoying brother and sister. (My other sister went to Sacramento for like a week to hang out w/ her friend :) So it was a little bit quieter) I was the first one back to the RV and I just sat outside for a while making more frienship bracelets and chugging down water. My mom made dinner and then we made smores. I only ate one, but instead of using regular chocolate; I used a reese's peanut butter cup :D

We had to leave because we couldn't stay there overnight. We ended up staying at some trailer park called Mirabel. That place was loud. The whole night these drunk kids were up and drinking and being noisy. I woke up twice because of them...

At least I'm home now, but we're probably going to go camping in 2 more weeks...

Oh yeah, I promised people a sleepover in the RV. When do you want it?
