Another fun weekend

Last weekend nothing too excited happened on friday. We all just kind of stayed in and hung out. The next day though we set out to go beach camping! We had planned on leaving around 12 but didn't actually get on the road until like 2. I guess that there was a lot of unplanned stuff to do that people hadn't thought about before. We went to the commissary to get food and then came back and people still weren't ready. The drivers decided to go to the marina to get ice but it took them forever for some reason and they came back like 30 min later. We got everybody ready and then didn't have enough cars to drive everybody. We then proceed to cart people in trips to the shopette were another car was meeting us. But it took him like 20 min to get there because he hadn't set an alarm and had just woken up. It started raining on us at the shopette but that lasted like 10 minutes and then it was fine. Then we got everybody in cars but had to go get gas and fill us tires with air. Then we had the chocolate for s'mores but had forgotten to pick up the marshmellows and graham crackers so we had to go back to the commissary for that. Finally, after so many set backs we were on our way :) After rockin' out during the car ride to plenty of dubstep we got to our destination of IE island. We actually went to a kind of smaller island off of that one but it was beautiful and had hardly any people. We stopped for a while at the marina there and lay on the beach while some of the other went out to check on a good spot to set up all of our stuff. It took them like an hour and by that time we had mastered the squaty potties, eaten half a bag of chilps, and had crabs climbing on our feet. We then loaded the cars again and went to a place closer to where we would camp where we could park the cars and carry tents and coolers down to the beach. We had set up of tents on the main part of the beach but the tide was coming up fast and we ended up having to pick them up and move them higher up. We basically had our own private beach because no one else was there. If you went around this huge rock mountain thing though there was another part of the beach that was gorgeous though. When we got there though there were more people on that side so we set up camp on the other. There was less debris like sticks and seaweed on the other side of the rock but more beach area to camp on on our side so it worked out nice. We went to the other side when we wanted to play in the water but our bonfire and stuff was where the tents were. After setting up camp we searched around for some wood for the fire and it took a while because there wasn't a whole lot for us to pick from. We got the wood mostly ready and then hung out in the water while the boys took some axes and hacked up some roots of trees that were sticking out of the ground. We got the fire started and ate some burned marshmellows before we did anything else. Hot dogs were next on the list and it took a really long time to cook them over our moderately sized fire. I don't even really know if mine was cooked all the way through. We ate our food and then played some truth or dare as well as midnight mafia before one of our other friends, Ryan from zip lining, joined us later that night. Eventually we got tired and went to bed. The tents were slightly on a hill so we all ended up cramped at the bottom the tent by the morning. It felt like a was sleeping on rocks and it got chilly at night which I was not expecting and hadn't prepared for. The next morning we woke with the sun at like 530 and sat by the fire. As it got warmer we ended up taking a little nap out in the sun before getting ready to have some more fun in the water on the other side of the rocks. We were the only ones camping on the beach that night. Everyone else had left. Mr. Jess and Mr. Jack though said that some fishermen had come in the middle of the night and were shining their lights everywhere. We stayed in the water until like 11 and then started packing up and were on our way by 1230. The boys drove us to White Beach Naval Base (which does not, in fact, have a white beach) about 15 min away. We ate at this restaurant called Naps which is a southern style american burger restaurant. It was really good. I ordered a salad and Peach/Keleigh got a burger and we split them both. We then went back to Foster and I took a nap and woke up later for our weekly camp meeting that night before going straight back to bed.
