Summer is for Camping

This last weekend we went camping for the first time this summer. We were a bit worried earlier in the week when the forecast showed a high of 35 degrees for Saturday. Although it was certainly warm and sunny on Friday and Saturday, everyone tolerated the heat really well.  Of course, a swimming pool always helps. We endured a bit of thunderstorm on Thursday as we were having supper and setting up camp. There were several puddles in our tent when it stopped raining. Fortunately, we hadn’t unpacked our bedding when the torrential rain rolled in. L, K, and T had great fun pulling each other around on the wagon, especially when they were able to work up a bit of speed on the slight incline beside our site.

Aunt C’s birthday is coming up, so we made sure to celebrate it.

Who needs a portable game console when you can play that old classic, Battleship.

Grandma and Grandpa found revels and treated us all.

Aunt C (yes, there are two of them) came prepared with bubble-blowing equipment.

When we woke up Sunday, it was raining.  The rain didn’t want to stop, so I’m currently drying tarps and other camping equipment in our backyard.

  1. Yeah. I don’t know what I was thinking about when the picture was taken. I was going to say something about it in the post, but drew a blank.

  2. Always a competitor…but I still look up to my older brother. No matter how intimidating he can be.
