A few weekends ago we went camping at a lake in northern New Mexico with some new friends! Megan is a nurse practitioner at my office and we went with her boyfriend Rami, their neighbors Mike and Susannah, and their daughter Elanor. Plus dogs.... lots of dogs (five total). Here's a pic of the whole crew huddling up after the rain:
We were excited to go to a real lake since natural water features are something we have definitely been missing since moving here. The lake is about 3 hours away from Albuquerque, but Megan and Rami found a camping spot a little farther out that was gorgeous. It was right on the water with only a few other people nearby so we could have the dogs off leash to run around and play. Here's an action shot of Bailey and her friend Biscuit in the water:
We got set up with our tents and Rami's super fancy pop-up tent on top of his car.
We got a little rain the first day, but luckily we had a good tarp set up to wait it out without getting too wet. It ended up leading to a gorgeous sunset and we even had a little bear sighting!
The next morning we got to do some swimming and paddle boarding. Maybe next time I'll get the "stand up" part of paddle boarding down, but for now Bailey and I are content to just sit.
Mike tried to do some fishing too but had a few too many "helpers" to be very successful.
It was a great camping trip and we can't wait to go back next summer when it's a little warmer!
Bailey was sad when the weekend was over (and also maybe a little car sick)...
