Camping!

A few weekends ago Ryan and I went on our first camping trip of the season.  It was before the sad, destructive, massive wildfire outbreak that has burned thousands and thousands of acres all around the metro area so we weren't in any danger at the time. 

It was SO nice to be up in the mountains and relax!  We spent a lot of time playing games and reading and I loved every minute of it.

Even though the wildfires hadn't gotten completely out of control yet, there were still some wildfires burning at the time so there was a fire ban in place and we were cautious and didn't mountain bike to ensure we didn't deeply inahle too much smoke as some people have been struggling with that for the past month or so.  I think we probably would have been fine as we've been on bike rides since but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry.  It seems that the recent rains have helped the firefighters a lot so hopefully they will be able to completely contain these fires.
