Thanks Angie, for hosting such a fun carnival:) I love being very wordy with my descriptions of pictures:)Stop bye her blog and play along!
When I first met my husband I had no idea that he spent most of his younger years up until college on a ranch. His dad was a ranch hand and Ryan spent all his time in the summers and weekends... school breaks..etc. On the ranch with his dad. That being said, I thought once we started dating that I must learn to embrace the outdoors and be open to camping, fishing, hunting etc. Although he doesn't hunt, some family members of his do.
So for his 25Th birthday I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a camping trip! I told him to be ready at five and I was going to come over and pick him up. Well he was driving but I went there in his truck because I had everything all packed up and ready to go! I made croissant sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, pasta salad, and brought wine:) Not your typical camping trip menu:) ha! Once we were together I said "Surprise we are going to skiatook lake and going camping:)" He was very very excited! We got there and set up shop, I learned how to start a fire and how to put a tent together! The two pictures below are from the camping trip and are some of my favorites of the two of us. We just seem so young and in love and carefree!!
Keep in mind... it started pouring down rain at about 3am and so my lil camper.. ranch hand boy... decided we should pack it up and head back to his apt!! ahahah! Apparently I should of brought the tarp for the tent so that rain wouldn't get in our tent:) I guess you live and you learn!
