Sabaku no Kat's Journal
Gah! We just came home from a camping trip. We set out on Friday and we had to take two vehicles there cause we had so many people coming. Since my dad had the instructions and didn't tell us, me, Mom, Oma, Hannah, and Alex got lost when we we're so close. We had to ask for directions and we didn't see a sign so we asked a park ranger we're the campgrounds were and he said we were in it! Then he told us that it was mostly Boy Scouts who got lost (and my dad said later that a lot of people wouldn't get lost if they had a sign that said where the campgrounds were). The he told us about the cave and waterfall we could go visit. When we got to the campsite Dad, J.T., and Miles already had the tents set up and the grill ready so we could cook when we got there cause we had the dinner. After dinner everybody but dad went to take a little walk around the campsite. We took my dog Eevee with us so we met up with my dad a little later. When we all got back we got dressed and went to bed.

The next morning my dad went off with some people cause he was going to get his certification for kayaking for scouts. So mom and Oma had planned the day. We were going to Lookout Mountain for a Fairy Tale Festival. Not Disney one's, but the one's like Little Red Riding Hood and all that. Then we were going to go to Ruby Falls and some other place as well. Since it was an hour drive they were a little iffy on going, and since that Park Ranger told us about the cave and waterfall the plan on going to the Festival and Falls flew out the window. And I wanted to go really bad, too! We left around 9:30 and went the way my Mom and Oma THOUGHT we were supposed to go and we ended up hiking for an hour and 45 minutes! Since we were tired, and didn't want to find out where we were supposed to go right then, we went to the river cause Dad said that he was going to come up there around 3:00. At 3:30 Hannah said she had to go pee (she's two). So Mom took her to the bathroom and me and J.T. went to the campsite. I took a nap in the tent and when I woke up (which was about 4:30) I heard Dad and Mom talking. Dad came back around 4:15! We went out to go shopping for a couple things. Then we took showers and went out to eat. We ate at a Chinese restaurant. It was really good! After that we went back to the campsite and lounged for a bit. (Bakura: No surprise there. SnK: *hits him* Be quite!) Then when it got dark we lighted a fire and made S'mores! Oma doesn't like graham crackers so she just had marshmallows. Me, J.T. and Alex played Duel Monsters for a little bit. Alex didn't bring his deck so he had to use use J.T.'s deck. I dueled 7 times and won every one of them. Then after a little while we went to bed.

In the morning Dad went off to go to his last class. Everyone else got to pack up the campsite. That took an hour/hour and a half. Then we found out we went down the wrong road for the cave and waterfall. So we went that way at about 10:00. We found the path that lead to the cave but we wanted to go to the waterfall first so we went to find it. There wasn't any signs so we went to the end of the road and looked around. Oma said it might be down one of the two paths there, but we didn't take a chance. So we went back and went to the cave. When we got there the opening was really small, so we didn't go in there, for fear of getting stuck. Then we went back to the car and for some reason Oma went to the road that lead to the two paths and a car was driving past. Oma flagged them down and asked where the waterfall was. She came back and told us she was right the first time. So we went to the water fall and spent a half an hour there. When we got back to the path that lead to the cave there were about 7 guys coming back from it. (A couple of them were cute *squeals* Bakura: Just get back to the story. SnK: So you admit you wanna hear it! Bakura: No, I just wanna get this over with so I can get away form you! SnK: *pouts*) Mom and Oma asked about the cave and they said it got bigger the farther you got in it. So we hiked back up there and this time we brought a flashlight. (Cause we forgot last time, which was part of the reason we didn't go in the first time.) Only Mom and Miles went in and they told us about what was in there. Dad said he might end at 3:00, so after we left the cave we decided to go back to where we parked Dad's truck and wait for him. We had lunch and waited for an hour. By then it got to hot to wait in the car anymore so me and my brothers decided to cool of down by the river. Mom came down with Hannah a little later (cause she was sleeping until then) and we waited until 5:00, when Dad FINALLY showed up. Then we packed the stuff we had evenly so that there was enough room for everyone to sit, and then we came home. We stopped by an A&W/Long John Silver for dinner. Then we drove the rest of the way home.

Yami/Yugi/Sakura/Malik/Gaara: *asleep*

Bakura: *falling asleep*

SnK:*whispers* Wow, at least I won't have to argue with them, huh?
