Tenting by the River and Ideas on Staying within the Second

We went tenting final weekend by the Russian River, and Marnie tagged together with us, which added a unique spin to our common routine. I’ve by no means gone tenting with a canine, so it was a primary!

For this journey, I attempted one thing new; I spent much less time taking pics on my telephone and extra time attempting to be current. I solely took a handful of pictures, together with the one on the prime.

Have you ever ever tried this? It’s been years since I’ve tried to not seize no less than a great quantity of photographs throughout a visit on my telephone, and it was kinda bizarre for me.

I’m undecided how I really feel about it! On one hand, it was very nice to not really feel the necessity to continually doc every thing. I actually tried more durable to burn photographs in my thoughts and seize the sentiments in the intervening time—the sweetness of seeing Marnie stroll proper as much as the sting of the river and getting proper into the water with none hesitation, or how my coronary heart swelled when Connor and Marnie appeared so peaceable curled up collectively sleeping within the tent.

However alternatively, I kinda want I took no less than a snap or two of these moments, in order that years from now, I may get a type of reminders on my telephone that exhibits me that I used to be by the water with my folks on this particular day.

I legit surprise if I’m gonna bear in mind it, ya know? I used to have a stellar reminiscence; for years, and up till just lately, I may bear in mind even seemingly small issues, like all my locker mixtures throughout center and highschool, LOL! And now I can barely bear in mind what I did final Monday, eek.

Oh, on a considerably unrelated word, in the event you *do* take a canine tenting, one factor I discovered this time round is to save lots of somewhat additional vitality to present the canine a shower once you get dwelling as a result of they get completely filthy! My goodness.

Anywho, are you the kind of one who simply takes just a few photos on a visit and is ok with that, or do you are feeling the necessity to doc each second?

Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,

Karen
