Summer Flannel

Fireside brews pre-storm.

Despite...

the flashing alert for severe pending thunderstorms

not owning enough tents for everyone

lack of firewood & flashlights

2 friends arriving too late to actually enter the campsites

downpour, thunder, and lightening all.night.long

and only a semi-functioning rain cover...

WE SURVIVED.

And it.was.awesome.

Because.

Instead

of sitting in a tent, we danced in the rain

of s'mores around a fire, we had cupcakes and played guitar in a tent

of a standard protocol camping trip, I have memories I can never forget.

even if I tried.

and that makes a better story.

For awhile I doubted a sunny morning would ever come.

canyons & waterfalls hike.

And life is more about playing in the rain then sitting in a tent, anyways.
