To kick off Summer and celebrate our nephew Elisha's 9th birthday, we took the boats out to the river and set up camp. We spent 2 nights and 3 hot days on our own little rocky beach. The lake was completely windy the whole time which made lots of tubing and what not a little difficult but we had lots of fun nonetheless.
The highlights were definitely the night rides... after the sun went down a huge full moon took over the whole sky and everything was so calm. We took the boat out and rode around on the dark water. It was amazing! The kids were so wiped they slept hard, the girls enjoyed the rocking of the water as they slept on the boats. I had a hard time the first night because every sound seemed crazy magnified to me. By night two, I slept like a baby cuz I was just as wiped as the kiddos!
Camp food always seems to taste better than regular food. Maybe it's due to the exhaustion of spending your whole day in the sun or the pride in knowing what you contributed to the meal. It was delicious to say the least.
We had a great time as a family and can't wait to do it again!!
