Roughin' It


Not really! We went camping this weekend at Beaver Lake with our friends the Symons' (plus one, Sara brought her boyfriend!). The men went out first thing Saturday morning and started setting up and the rest of us followed after getting the kids up and packed. It started raining minutes after we arrived, but cleared up a little as the afternoon wore on and therefore Symons' jet skis were used quite a bit.


Claire and Landon LOVE riding on these things...and thought they were hot stuff this go around because Daddy actually let them drive. Even the Symons' dog, Rocky, got in on the action! We cooked burgers and dogs...the regular camp out fare and had s'mores for dessert. Everyone retired to cool but comfortable temperatures. During the peaceful night a thunderstorm blew in. Now, I can't speak for everyone in tents at our campsite...but I enjoy listening to rain and as you know after a previous blog I even enjoy thunderstorms. But this was NOT enjoyable. The lightening was spectacular, but the thunder was the LOUD!!!!! And my daughter was wide awake for the whole show! Once it was over, everyone slept well, though, and we awoke to fog over the mountains and a pristine lake view. The sun peeked out as we were cooking bacon and eggs and the rest of the day was beautiful! More lake time rounded out our weekend and now early bedtimes to make up for lost sleep last night. Good times with good friends!
