The highlight of the summer for our kids is our Family Campout at Twim Lakes. After 3 days of sun, dirt, water, and bugs they declared that this was the funnest year so far.
Emillie and Katie spent a good share of time suntanning, they thought they so cool until they were burned the next day. Emillie burned her leg on the fireplace, but is is healing up now.
Taralee and Jake rowed themselves around the lake on the supertube most of the weekend.
JR played with his new remote control boat and rode the tube behind Uncle Richards boat, but his favorite thing was when he got to drive Uncle Richards boat. I don't think the remote control boat is going to cut it for him after that.
Melanie is still scared of the water so she spent the weekend wearing her lifejacket walking along the shoreline.
Addie was such a good camper! She got braver in the water every day. She would walk out to about knee deep and then run back to me and say, "I did it, I did it." Then I would give her a high five and she would repeat the same thing, over and over!
Justin was a good camper, too. He hardly complained, even in the middle of the night when it started to rain I remembered that I'd left the camcorder and camera outside. He put a blanket over his head and went out to search for it. He couldn't find it, but we were happy the next morning when we found out the Robin had picked it up and saved it from the rainstorm. We pretty much stayed dry, but we were SO happy to come home to a shower, flush toilets, and a comfy bed. Until next year.
