Over the weekend we went camping. While the situation and conditions were not ideal with rain, lack of tents, hail, wind, and fire restrictions we still had a good time for the most part. Davis had a blast but his mom got worn out and had a hard time staying warm and they went home a bit early.
I have always been a big fan of the outdoors and camping. I remember when me and a friend would have one of our parents drive us out east of SJ and drop us off for a night or two by our selves. We were doing this as early as 12 if I recall. In the past I have always had access and use of my dads arsenal of camp gear, and still do, but I am feeling the need and desire to begin getting my own gear.
We have not had the best of luck with camp gear recently. Our tent took a hard one after a big storm following this camping experience. We now find ourselves tent-less. Our sleeping bag and cowboy pack went MIA during Karen's hunting trip. The dutch oven is about all that we have left.
Rodney, my best friend, is up and moving to Indiana and I am trying to convince him that his camp gear belongs here in AZ and that I would be the perfect person to inherit it all. He seems to think otherwise. Two items in particular of his I would like to have, his cast iron skillets.
Everything seems to taste better cooked in cast iron and that was the case this weekend. For breakfast we cooked eggs (to go along with our pancakes, bacon, and hashbrowns) in one of the skillets and they were amazing and even more impressive was the sausage gravy we made for our biscuits in the other skillet.
Lastly, just a friendly reminder to all - my birthday is August 3rd I am sure you all can think of some great gift ideas now.

thx for the bday reminder! Gives me lots of time to ponder! I think I'm going to make biscuits and gravy tomorrow morning...that sounds SOOOO delicious. Getting cold while camping is like the worst thing that could happen while camping, for me anyway. I HATE IT!
that's too bad your camping trip didn't go so well! Maybe next time. :)
so basically you are asking for a cast iron skillet right? or more specifically rods cast iron skillet for your birthday... since you are our only brother left out here...i just may be able to make that happen!!
PS: i want to see pictures of your trip to IN... seriously... a daily posting would be amazing! looking forward to hanging out with you next week!
