Camping 2008

We left on Friday the 20th at 7:30 am for a 9 day camping trip... YES 9 days! The boys were soooo excited to leave! We finally found a really nice camp ground and started setting up camp.

On Saturday there was a huge windstorm that came through and completely uprooted a 120' tree and knocked it down right in our camp... just barely missed the tents. Then about 20 minutes later we heard another one fall... then another one. By this time Julie and I were gathering up what we could as fast as we could and getting the boys to safety. Josh and I decided it was not smart to stay and went to a motel for the night. That was one of the scariest things I have ever had to live through.... as we were driving out you could see trees falling!

After that we went back to camp and had a great week.... no one got seriously sunburned, bit or injured! Although Jace did lose his 1st tooth up there and the tooth fairy brought his $17.80... can you believe it!

There was lots of fishing, riding and just relaxing.... and eating! We had a great time but I am glad to be home and back in a normal routine.
