First Time Camping for the Season

      Happy Sunday! Yesterday right after I took the SAT Subject Tests for Literature and U.S. History (yuck), we hooked up the trailer to our truck and went to Pomona Lake to go camping for the first time this year! Camping is absolutely one of my favorite things to do during the summer, and I miss it so much during the school year. Although it was a little chilly for me and it wasn't the lake we usually go to, I had fun painting, eating junk food, and watching movies. I usually like to ride my bike, take my dogs on walks, make s'mores, play croquet, and spend more time outside, but the weather didn't permit that stuff this time. Hopefully I'll get to do those things next time we go camping!
      So last time I talked about how I wanted to do some more crafty things at the lake, and I painted a picture of the lake last night! I just used cheap paints, paintbrushes, and a canvas, and I thought everything I used worked pretty well. It was so relaxing to just paint while gazing into the sunset. Last night was a little cloudier than I would have liked, and I was facing the complete opposite direction of the sun, unfortunately, so it looks pretty dark.

(Ignore me) Can you kind of see a resemblance?

Close-up!

I wish the sky had turned out a little lighter, and the water doesn't really look like water, but I'm proud of myself for doing something artistic! I'll have to do another craft soon!

Carpe Diem,
