We snuck in a last minute camping trip right before the kids all went back to school. The week before school started we camped from Tuesday until Thursday. We went with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Barb. We had to stop at Grandpa's favorite diner on the way there for lunch. Can't miss a good burger when you are with Grandpa! We got there and set up camp and then headed to the lake. Grandpa brought his pontoon boat and we took turns taking it out on the lake. Chris and the kids did a little fishing and actually caught some! We don't always have great luck fishing, so this was pretty exciting. We slept that night and woke up to rain, rain and more rain. It was cold and wet!
Unfortunately, Grandma's knee locked up and she could barely walk. They decided they had better pack up and go home. Kylee went with them because she had to get back for a Dental Hygiene Orientation at WSU. Some of us wanted to stay the extra night, and some of us wanted to go home. It rained all day long. We decided to stay and we were glad in the end that we did. We played a lot of card games in the tent trailer and managed to make a dutch oven dinner over the fire. Later that night it finally stopped raining! Thank goodness! We decided to go back to the lake and try our luck at fishing again. Brinley was the only one who had not caught a fish yet. It took some time and patience, but she finally got one! Her first catch!! We are hoping for some more camping next summer with a little better weather!
