This was honestly such a unique experience! 😂 Even though the location was in a residential area, once I lay down surrounded by all the trees, I completely forgot how tired I was.
My husband and kids slept like babies😂. Meanwhile, I was wide awake half the night thanks to all the mysterious animal noises. I’m pretty sure I heard stray cats, squirrels, and definitely some dogs barking. Every little sound made me jump!
I think the fact that there was no roof made me feel a little vulnerable, too. Then, at some point in the middle of the night, I woke up and suddenly remembered, “Wait… I’m literally hanging in a tree!” 😱 That realization scared me all over again, and I didn’t dare move an inch. My family, of course, was sleeping peacefully like logs.
When the morning mist finally rolled in, I felt safe again. 😂 Looking back, it was absolutely unforgettable. I still remember waking up in the middle of the night, surrounded by complete darkness, and realizing I was suspended in a tree. Definitely gave myself a second scare!
But honestly, I loved the experience. Even now, when I’m lying in bed at home thinking about it, I still get excited. It was definitely one of those experiences I’ll never forget.
The only thing I’d suggest is that if you bring your own portable toilet, bring some kind of shelter for it too. Trust me, you’ll appreciate it! 😂
