Mysteriously camping on a sandbar

At first I was a little nervous, but when we got there I became a little less nervous. When we first got on the boat I thought it was going to sink, but it didn’t. After we took off I started to paddle and we started moving quickly. There were a couple hidden sandbars that we got stuck on but we kept on moving. In the middle of our trip to our camping spot, we stopped at a sandbar to have lunch. Then we took off and kept on rowing down the river to our camping spot. Once we got there, there was no one there so we had the whole place to ourselves. We pitched our tents and played some games with waterproof cards. Soon after that, we started making a pool with a shovel. We sat and rested in it. We started a campfire with wood as the sun started going down. After that, we had walking tacos for dinner with delicious turkey meat that we cooked over the fire. We also roasted marshmallows and made s’mores!

The next morning when we woke up, you could not see a thing! There was fog everywhere. We ate bagels for breakfast while the fog burned off and it turned into a bright sunny day. We packed up our campsite and continued our canoe trip down the river. Once we got to the end, we tried parking but there was a fast spot we had to curve around to get in. We bumped into someone else that was leaving the parking area. After we loaded up our car, we stopped for ice cream in town, and then drove home. The next day, we went back to our normal summer camp.
