Camping 2009

June 2009 -We went fishing during the break of the rain.

June 2009 - You know when you have to wear a coat in the middle of June it's not warm.

June 2009 - Camping was fun but very rainy and very wet.

June 2009 - Hiding from the rain in the makeshift shelter Damien made for us.

Brooke was constantly wet. She wanted to ride her bike in the middle of the rainstorms.

July 2009 - Jaci and Brooke chilling in grandma's tent.

He was trying to fix something. There is barely any DJ left at all.

The kids had to have a bath after their mud puddle bike riding.

They created a huge mud puddle and learning if they put DJ's bike in it, they could just spin the back wheel and it would spray them with mud. It was sooooo funny.

Poor Jaci was freezing.

Brooke trying to get sprayed.

The little devils made a mud puddle in our camp site that was huge.

All day long we heard, can we start a fire now.

Tasha, Shaun, and Peydon came to visit us.

Camping food, YUM YUM!!!

So this year for camping, Damien went with us once and then this last time I took the kids. Cathy came up also. The first trip we went on was in June when we were getting pounded by the rain. We had put it off for three weeks and finally decided we should go. It was sooo muddy and rainy. We got there on Friday and it was ok to set up the tents. Then late afternoon it clouded up. We didn't get anymore rain that night till about 3 in the morning. It rained till probably 9:30 or so. We got up and Damien jimmy rigged us a shelter from the rain. That was nice. The kids would go ride their bikes every rain break we got. It was funny. It rained on and off all day Saturday. Sunday we woke up to find blue skies, but guess what? It was time to pack up. We packed up to get home and it start to rain. It was fun but we could have done it without the rain. It was nice to have Damien home and to go camping with us.

In July, Cathy and me decided to go camp. It was sooooo fun. It was beautiful weather. We weren't overly hot or cold. The kids were able to play to their hearts content this time. They rode bikes, fished, ate, made a huge mud puddle that they rode their bikes through and chased the mice that were all over the place up there. Cathy found a mouse in her tent the second night. We laughed hysterically. What a great time.
