A Whole Lotta Rain

So the camping trip was a washout. Literally.

Well, maybe not LITERALLY. We did not get washed away or flooded out of our space, but it rained a lot. A LOT. Buckets.

Think tsunami.

Only without the wind. Or really huge waves. Or massive flooding.

Wait, don't think tsunami, think hurricane amounts of rain.

Large amounts of water falling from the sky.


We did a little bit of this --

And had a whole lotta this --

We did a little bit of this -- See how we were nearly the only people on the entire lake? That is not blue sky; those would be very dark clouds.

And had a whole lotta this -- Notice how efficient the roof over the picnic table is. Other people were hanging out and eating at their tables in spite of the rain. This would have worked for us....if we wanted to go swimming.

We did a little more of this --


And a whole lotta this --


We did a little bit of this --


And a whole lotta this -- No camping trip is complete without Camper Olympics.


We did a little bit of this -- We are not completely crazy, it really was not raining when we started that fire. I think we may have set the record for the fastest smore making. It takes amazing skill to roast marshmallows in the rain.

And a whole lotta this -- Yes, that would be sword fighting with swimming noodles.



And a little bit of this -- jet ski hair is the best.

And a whole lotta this -- because it was definitely my goal to take the kids camping so they could watch 30 bazillion hours of TV.
