MEMORIAL DAY




















We had a fun weekend camping. We left Friday afternoon and then came back Saturday. Then we left again Sunday and came back Monday. The kids had a blast and I won't say what I thought it really was. Range didn't sleep at all. Saturday morning the kids got up at 6:15 am! It was pretty cold all weekend and rained a lot. This made it hard with Range because we had to hold him all weekend. However, my other boys had a ball. The rode the go-cart, 4-wheelers, motorcyles, and anything else they could get their hands on. It was so muddy and gross - and of course they loved that. Their was a stream right by our camper. On Sunday when we left Neola it was raining pretty hard. By the time we got to Red Rock it had lightened up. We did enjoy that night around the camp fire and playing baseball. Monday morning when we woke up their was snow on the ground and it was still coming down. At 6:30 am the guys decided we better go home because we probably wouldn't make it if we didn't. The rode into Red Rock is really sticky mud with a big drop off of one side. If your camper or truck started sliding you won't be able to stop it. They thought we better get going while the mud was a little "frozen". We got everything packed up and ready to go. Well, the ground wasn't frozen but we made it out. On one spot our camper tires were about 6" from the edge... Scary - The boys have Father & Sons this weekend so they will get to go camping again. I am going to run a marathon!

Looks like lots of fun...at least for the boys. Dirt, mud snow and camping just doesn't entice me. Good luck with your marathon this week. (did you get the package?)
