Daniel and I try going on a camping trip at least once a year. Last year we went during the summer, and it was awful. So this year we decided to go early before it got so hot. We went to the Chickasaw State Park Campgrounds.
We made popcorn over the stove. It was our first time, and it was pretty exciting.
Daniel spent most of the second night playing with the fire.
And we found this little guy! (above)
There is a small town about 10 miles from the camp site, and so we decided to take a little drive to see what was there. We stopped at a grocery store to get something to drink, but realized that Daniel had left his wallet at the campsite. So we turned around to go back. Half way there we heard a weird noise, and stopped to see what it was.
It was 5 miles to the campsite, and 5 miles back to the town. We realized that not only did we not have money on us, but we also didn't have a spare tire, and we were in the middle of the country.
We were pretty embarrassed. Daniel called our insurance company to see what our options were, and they told us that a tow truck could pick us up, and insurance would cover. So, we waited for the tow truck, which took us 15 miles to the nearest tire place so we could purchase a new tire. We had to convince the tire place to let us drive back to the camp ground to get our wallets and then come back to pay. 
Thankfully they did, and after driving back and forth, and 4 hours later (from when we first left camp), we were back at camp with a new tire, and a spare in the trunk. So our weekend was full of adventure.
