Oktoberfest

We went camping this weekend in Aguanga, California for TVHA's first Oktoberfest. We got there on Friday night to help set up and get things ready for Saturday's events. We also go to test out our new tent for the first time. The last time we went camping was in May and we had an old tent that my husband used when he was little. We set it up (in the wind) and discovered that it didn't really hold up in any kind of weather because the wind was blowing it flat to the ground and the zipper was broken. Thankfully one of the couples that was at that camping trip had room in their trailer for us to stay. I am so glad that we finally went out and bought ourselves a tent. With that said, we still suck at camping. The Oktoberfest was planned to have two potlucks, one was on Saturday night and was a German themed potluck dinner while the other was on Sunday morning as a potluck breakfast. We brought food for both potlucks, plates and utensils to share with everyone, food for our Friday night dinner, as well as beer to drink for Friday night and Saturday morning (everyone brought beer, of course). Stupidly, we forgot to think about breakfast and lunch on Saturday and didn't bring anything for ourselves to eat (and if we had, we had nothing of our own to cook it on). So by about 10am on Saturday I asked Craig if we could run to the store (50 minutes away, also right near our house) to get some monster energy drinks cause I wanted one then and knew I would want one on Sunday morning. As we headed home, we ran through Carls Jr and ran through the gas station for monsters as well as a snack for later. We got home to shower and brush our teeth, got shorts and different shoes, and then headed back to the camping, all the while laughing at what great campers we were! The next camping trip, we'll be more prepared (I hope)!!
