Summer

The nights are getting cooler, there have been fewer days that are warmer than 25 degrees and I’ve broken out the long pants, but I’m not ready for autumn.  I have had a lot of fun this summer, but there are a few more things that I would like to do, for example how about a day trip to Grand Beach?  Before I get ahead of myself I am going to reminisce about another fun camping trip that we had August long weekend.

It started out cold and rainy.  I am beginning to fear that those dark clouds are following us around, both camping trips this summer we have set up and had supper in the rain.  Thanks to mom’s shade/rain tent we have stayed relatively dry.

 And so we had to find ways to keep ourselves busy.  We didn’t have alot of books along but thankfully there were enough readers that the same person didn’t have to read the books too many times.  When there was no one free to read, L and L could act out Mo Willems “Watch Me Throw the Ball” and keep themselves occupied.

Eventually the sun came out and everyone went for a short hike.  We had some trusty navigators and scouts that kept a lookout for trail markers.

Saturday the fisherman all reported back how warm the lake had been so Sunday when the sun shone we headed to the beach.  Unfortunately when the sun shines the water feels colder so we didn’t spend very much time in the water.  But despite the rain we made some memories, L got the hang of riding his bike with C and I had many helpers in picking a pail of chokecherries.
