camping

Our camping trip was successful and fun this time around! We left for Lake Winnebegosh after Dan got home from work on Friday afternoon. It takes us about 2 hours to get there from here so we didn't get there until about 9 p.m. We sat up out tent in the dusk and ate some supper and sat around the camp fire until midnight or so.

The next morning the kids got up early because they were so excited! Yay! We basically stayed around the camp most of the day swimming and sitting by the fire. The kids played in the dirt and invented all kinds of things to do. We wrapped up the evening with chicken terriaki, rice, corn on the cob and smores over the fire.

We packed up by lunch the next day and then took the kids fishing off the dock for an hour or so. Shelby and Kylie caught fish, everyone had so much fun!

We didn't get any rain but we did have biting flies and a few hornets to contend with.

It's been a really dry summer for here. All the lakes are down "inches" and that's a big deal, here. We did have a wonderful thunderstorm in the middle of the night last night and we did get some rain out of it. There was lightening and thunder that rolled around the sky. All of this at 2 in the morning so, needless to say, we had 3 of 4 kids in our bed for several hours last night. It was a cramped night! :)

Please keep us in your prayers as we make some important decisions the next few months. We love you all!
