We got a late start on Friday.
We set up our tent in the dark and then Hayley woke up ready to party.
We gave her a flashlight to entertain her until she fell asleep.
And The Thunder Rolled.
Lindley- "Mom" in a sweet little voice.
Me- 'Yes Lindy Lou."
Lindley- " That BOOM is really loud.
I just cover my ears."
Me- "Good job Lindy Lou."
It was a long night.
It rained and rained and the thunder and lightning were crazy.
Our tent kept us warm and dry.
Emily and Abby slept in the trailer with Grandma and Grandpa and the Christensens.
They had kids crying in through it all.
In the morning the kids begged for dental floss so they could make some bows and arrows.
The carried them with them everywhere they went.
Emily and Kandyce did each others hair.
Hayley, Lindley, Kylie and Ella played match games.
Me and Stevie.
I took the kids on a walk to the lake.
They started out just playing in the sand.
They kept a little deeper into the lake and in trouble.
Gage and Jordan tried to fish.
Proof that the kids didn't listen to me or their mom.
Hayley got so wet I had to take her pants of and put my jacket on her.
On the way back we got rained and hailed on.
While it rained we did a little origami.
Saw a rainbow.
Played in the mud.
Built a fort.
Went on a scavenger hunt.
Gage brought back a dead mouse for his treasure not listed.
EWWWWW!
Kandyce and Hayley
Emily and Abby
Steve killed a huge hornets nest.
Then he taught a mini science lesson on bees and hornets.
Cleaned up camp.
Walked to the lake with Grandma.
Lindley got to take max.
The kids went to far in the water again.
Headed back to camp.
Hayley cried for at least 15 minutes.
"I don't want to go home."
"I don't want to go home."
"I don't want to go home."
We had too much fun in spite of the rain.
I love to go camping.
I hate packing up and going home.
The kids are so happy and play so well when we are camping.
It makes my job as a mom so easy.
Except the 500 trips to the bathroom and not wanting to sleep .
