Holiday camping























我们和两家大学好友一同去了山区的公园里露营,三家大大小小带着锅碗瓢盆,汽灯炉灶,桌椅被褥和做好的各种美食,就象搬了一次家,住进了最原始的小木屋。没有电,没有暖气,完完全全过了几天逍遥自在的原始人的生活。白天孩子们奔跑在旷野之中,大人们沿着湖边攀爬在怪石之间,享受大自然的日月精华,晚上,点燃篝火,烤羊肉串儿,烤棉花糖,烤玉米,烤红薯,孩子们玩游戏,大人们打牌,都玩儿得乐不思蜀。 夜晚,木屋里很冷,我们都钻在睡袋里,从头到脚,一点都不敢露在外面,真正体会到了冬日里风餐露宿的意境。安娜玩儿得很开心,一点也不闹, 大家都很喜欢她。  
We went camping in a county park with our two old classmates’ families. We brought all the cookware, stoves, propane lights, chairs and most importantly, the delicious food. We stayed in the cabins with no electricity and heating. During the day, kids were playing in the wild and we hiked around the lake. At night, we lit up the camp fire roasting lamb, marshmallows, corn, and sweet potatoes. It was so freezing cold at night that we had to cover our bodies in layers when sleeping. Anna had a lot of fun and everybody likes her very much.
