Camping trip/The Third

You might be tired of blog post about our camping trips, but for memories sake, I post away. :)
A couple of weeks ago, we went on our last camping trip with the fam. This time, the sun shined, and we soaked it in. I think knowing that this was our last summer camping trip made us enjoy it even more... if that is possible.




















We did more than just lying on the beach, but when we were swimming, I was in there with everyone... so, no pictures of that action!
Also not pictured are the many walks/bike rides that we went on, and the games of tennis that we played.

Of course, as with every camping trip, we ate good!


















One my highlights from this trip, was the boat outing with these three. We did a few water sports, then just parked the boat in the middle of the lake, swam, played "King of the tube", and just chilled.



Brooke went knee boarding for the first time! She loved it!



On the third day, we noticed the storm clouds rolling in, and saw from looking at Radar, that it was going to be a bad one.
So, we went out to eat, then headed to our Grandparent's house to wait out the storm.
We have been in our camper during a bad storm before, and we didn't want to go through that again!


Turned out to be the worst storm the town had seen in fifty years. Thankfully, our campers were on the edge of it, so they stayed upright... though Josh and Becca's camper moved back about a foot.
The next day we helped out some friends and Henry and Megan with clean up.
Go to Megan's blog post to watch a video from that day.








That's it!
Until next year...

Camping Trip/The Second

Our camping trip began on Monday. We got some boating in with friends that evening. Then the clouds covered the sky.
Mid-afternoon on Tuesday, the rain began. And didn't stop for the next two days! But we still made the most of our time together. Some of us ran/walked in the rain, we took the kids to see a movie at the theater, hung out with Meg at our Grandparent's vacant house, took four trips with the vehicles we had to get everyone to DQ for a meal, played cards in the camper, and took lots of selfies. ;)





Once again, Ker, Bob, Zach, and I traveled home each evening to take care of the chores.



We counted twenty people in the RV at one point...










Then, finally... the sun began to shine!
We crammed a lot of fun into that last day.
Boating, tennis, a run on the trail around the lake (one of those puddle-jumping, sliding down the hills, wading across the creek because the bridge was out, kind of runs... but it was still fun. :), campfire, and more boating.
You may have noticed from the pictures that we got a new boat! This was our first time trying it out... and it was NICE! :)





























Grams and Gramps came over for a visit.


Ain't she cute?!? :)









And that's it!
Hope you enjoyed this peek into our camping adventures!
