Labor Day weekend Sept. 2012

We decided to go camping over Labor Day.  It was a rough start but we ended up having  blast.  We started out with a surprise party for Grandma Titcomb.  She was turning 80.  It was fun, the kids love playing with their cousins.  After the party we headed to our campsite.  It is off the lava exit-- called good enough campground.  Last year my dad told us about it, and we loved it.  The weather wasn' t the greatest and on our way there we had neighbors call us and tell us that there were tornado warnings.  We ended up missing our turn so Clay went up further to turn around.  We had my Dad's 4 wheeler in the back so the tailgate was down.  Clay knew he had to take it wide.  Well, as we had just finished the turn, he heard a crunch-- yep.  Dented the tailgate and the propane tanks a little.  We actually must have done a little one when we came out of the church parking lot.  So, once we got to our site-- and was about done setting up, the RAIN came.  It was about 20 minutes of rain-- and then done for the rest of the weekend.  It was BEAUTIFUL.  Clay's Mom and Richard came up as well as my parents and Carson for lunch one day. We played kick the can which is always a kid favorite.  It was tons of fun! And yes-- still LOVE the trailer.  I could just imagine what it would have been like if it was raining and we were all in a tent.  ICK!

We were right about a little creek-- and boy did they have fun in it.  I caught them all dancing in it and having a blast.
