Camping - Day 4 - FRIDAY


The forecasted storm finally hit Thursday night. Wow. It was loud.

Friday a.m. the host drove around and told us all to take down awnings etc....

We waited a couple of hours...and were tired of being cooped up. I suggested a walk. I billed it as an adventure. It was great. We began the walk.... there are some really great nature trails in the park. It did begin to drizzle...and sort of thunder. We walked faster. Jared and Josiah went fishing instead. Stacia decided she needed a hood - so she pulled her shirt up.

All of a sudden it POURED.....we raced to the shower house and thought we'd wait it out.....before we could make it to the bathrooms it began to hail....
Josiah pulled up in the van. What a nice guy. He and Jared decided to come find us when the hail started and we still weren't back. We spent the rest of the day playing games, reading and using Mike's Christmas gift of a portable DVD player.

Looks like you all had LOTS of fun! I'm hoping to finish up my vacation pictures SOON!! Blog problems have me at a bit of a standstill....while I decide what to do about the volume of memory I've already used now that blogger has this new storage limit thing in place...

De'Etta, you did a terrific job while Mike was gone, but I so enjoy seeing so many photos of your wonderful smiling face on your blog.

Isn't it great to have your sweetie home!?

LOL Debbie...I noted that I'm showing up in more pictures...I used to HATE him to get the camera...he is a camera fiend...and I finally realized "oh well - he is going to take them"...and who cares if he takes them when I'm 40 lbs overweight. LOL Now I could have done without the wet rat photo. LOL

hummmmm: today in one of the reading classes the lesson was all about hail, thunder, and rain. Kinda frigntening! The kids were amazed at all the scientific type stuff they also learned.

Inside the trailer looks so cozy!
