camping trip in mammoth

We had a camping trip planned months ago. It was postponed, the location changed at the last minute, and finally the long awaited camping trip was here. Alright you saw my previous post complaining about the bad timing of John's business trip to Ohio. We left at 3:30 pm on Friday drove straight to Mammoth. We got there just when it got dark. Luckily Janet and Jimmy had arrived 1/2 earlier than us and managed to get a good camp site.
The camping trip was so much fun that I wanted to do it again the next weekend. Me and net said we know now what to bring at our next camping trip after this trip. We will definitely do this again next summer. If it wasn't for the weather, we would do it again. Even at our trip, it was freezing cold at night. Poor net and jimmy. They forgot their queen size mattress. We didn't do that good either. We forgot our camping chairs that we bought for this camping trip. Turned out we didn't really need it anyway.

We anticipated a lot of hiking and sightseeing at mammoth. Maybe it wasn't meant to be... god had better arrangement for us. :) Turned out that weekend mammoth village had Oktoberfest event going on. We all had a blast! See below some pictures (out of the thousands pictures) we took at this trip. Note: Pictures are not in order. Lazy to arrange it.

we are trying to start up a campfire




early in the morning, janet made us some breakfast there... it was cold!! that's why she's all wrapped upboiling hot water for our...

oooh.... here's where all the fun began
the German bratwurst that i was trying to shove the whole thing in my mouth

jimmy and his proud stein...

janet trying to down the whole thing, the key word here is "trying"
my man...like his shirt (good advice)!

told him to pose like that paper man, haha, it would look alot better if john had the same outfit


haha- after few sips & a very very red face, she passed out

showing off his hot dog
this is a little store near our campsite. where we bought our supplies that we forgot to bring and took $4/ person hot shower

this is how our tents were set up. we both had pretty much the same size tent, that fit 2 ppl. The red & black- ours. john's cereal for breakfast
our food storage- anything smells must be stored in here. See my body lotion in there too? better safe than sorry
making smores.... bbqing marshmallows


our dinner....our breakfasthow the hell do you operate this thing... i was thinking.

i don't know what i was doing here.... probably complaining.. oh wait, i can't be complaining cause i was smiling there... see?? told you babe... i don't complain ALL the time...

haha... me and net's jalapeno of course.


i downed it.... 2nd one!
showing off the empty stein... she is awake now from the alcohol... haha.

At some point, me and janet decided to be brave and ran out, start doing the chicken dance. I had forgotten to mention that there were people performing. Singing songs and dancing and stuff. After all it's an oktoberfest. :-) the chicken dance song was stuck in my head for days.... kept playing over and over again in my head. :D


so drunk..... in love.
look at my inflated bag of chips! we were at 9,000 feet

they brought their little baby (boo) with them! Jimmy sleeps with her on his chest every night. awww.....

The camping trip was so much fun. So looking forward to our next camping trip... and make sure you remember to bring your queen size air mattress, jimmy!
