camping

Each Memorial Day Justin and I like to go camping.  We didn't think we were going to be able to make it this year, but it worked out to go.  We headed over near Marion where a very generous couple lets us camp across the lake from their bed and breakfast.  It's beautiful.

We didn't have time to look for rocks to make a fire in so we used our little grill the first night.

Chris and Christine and the girls made the trek over for supper.  Leslyn loves her picture taken and was posing for the camera.

After we ate the girls wanted to swim so Justin got in with them.

The cows watched from the dam.

The Kremeiers brought their little dog Brody.  He got a little too close to the water and slipped in.  The picture is a slightly blurry, but it was too funny not to post.

After they left Justin and I found some rocks and made a fire.

After we crawled into our tent it began lightening to the east.  Just to be safe, I crawled out and put everything in the back of the Jeep so it wouldn't get wet if it should rain.  The coyotes, turkeys, and frogs kept us awake for a while, but we both finally fell asleep.  In the middle of the night it did start raining so we had to get up and put the fly on the tent.  When we woke up the next morning it was misting and everything was wet.  Justin made us breakfast in the mist and we tried to wait it out.  We finally packed our stuff up around 11:30 and headed home.  I'm fairly certain that it only rained over our little campsite.  When we got home everything was dry and the sun was beginning to come out.  Oh well, we were able to camp for a night as well as work on different things around the house for the rest of the weekend.
