Camping in the Back Yard

Last night, J and I, on a whim, decided to go camping. It was WAY too late to pack things up and find a place and get food and firewood, etc...

So we decided the back yard would be the perfect spot.

The weather was beautiful and we could see all the stars and we have never been camping together (because my idea of camping is when the coffee pot in the hotel room isn't workng...)...so we decided to make ourselves a bed of blankets, leave the dog out all night, get naked and crawl into our makeshift bed (we have a VERY private back yard by the way...) and spend the night outside.

At first, it was great.

J said "See...you can do this camping thing." to which I replied "yes...being this close to a bathroom and coffee pot makes camping MUCH more my style than I thought it would be!"

After a very, very short time the dog was so excited to see us out there that it became what you might consider impossible to relax!

Khane is 70lbs of solid muscle and it was his first opportunity to lay on us and try to crawl in between us and paw my hair and lick our faces and...

Well...

Just plain be a pain in the butt!

So...he had to go back inside.

He cried.

He got over it and fell asleep.

At one point, J said to me "What woman would do something like this with me?"

I said "Any woman in her right mind, but I feel so blessed to be the one invited."

And I...well...I got to spend a lovely night all wrapped up in the arms of my love, with nature, under the stars...

I hope your evening was just as amazingly wonderful as mine was.

Much Love,
Mercedes
