Last weekend, Memorial Day, we went camping. It was Kaylin's first camping trip. She loved being outside. Lindsey is an old pro at camping. We kind of camped with the Meredith's but they were on the other side of the park. We got together and ate dinner two of the 3 nights we camped. Well, here goes the story, as always you can count on something happening when we all go camping. To start Saturday morning we woke up and it was kind of cloudy, Jeff was going fishing and Lindsey went with him. Well, they had not been gone 5 minutes and you could here thunder off in the distance. Kaylin and I were sitting at the table, she was eating chocolate donuts, and we were thinking "We are fixin' to get wet". So I gathered everything up so it would not get soaked and we made it to the camper just in time. The skies opened up, Jeff and Lindsey are not back yet. Then all of a sudden a lighting bolt, and I could see the flash clearly out the door and then the biggest crack of thunder you have ever heard. Jeff and Lindsey are still out on the water. But it was not a couple of minutes and they were safe inside the camper with Kaylin and I. After all that excitement we ate breakfast the skies cleared and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Sunday we woke up and it was nice. Later in the day after lunch time went out on Dusty and Jill's new boat. It is a very nice boat and there is room for all 8 of us. We started out and we were going to meet some other friends that had come out for the day just to cruise the lake. Once we met up with them we turned around and saw a storm brewing behind us. So just as fast we made to our friends we turned and went back to camp. To make it a little more exciting Dusty noticed that the boat started taking on water. So after the rain blew over Jeff helped Dusty get it fixed. They came over to our camp site to eat dinner , then we decided to take a boat ride. After a little bit we stopped and coaxed the Lindsey and Cadyn to jump in the water to swim. It was cold but they had fun. It started getting dark so we decided to head back to camp, then the boat would not start. We sat there for a little bit. Lindsey and Cadyn stated getting scared and we told them Jeff can fix anything. He tried but no luck, then our silent prayers were answered. A boat was heading for us and it just so happens it was a guy that Jeff used to work with at the Ford dealership. They pulled us for a little while, then we were able to get the boat started. Then Monday moring more storms rolled through, we thought we were going to have to pack everything up in pouring rain, but by the time we finished with breakfast it had stopped. It is a running joke, that if you want it to rain have us, Dusty and Jill go camping and it will rain more times than not. That is why now we all have campers, NO MORE TENTS!!
