Back in November, we tried to go camping. Michael got sick, so he and I stayed at home. Em and Kevin braved the cold only to come home on Sunday morning about 3:00 AM with her wheezing. So, we promised them that we would try again when it warmed up. This past weekend, we fulfilled that promise and boy was it warm!
We headed to Dale Hollow on Friday with 2 other families and set up camp in 95 degree weather. We were up on a hill and there were some trees on the site. It was a beautiful setting. The playground was across the street, so the kids were able to go play while we sat! It was great!
Saturday we got up and headed to the marina to pick up our pontoon boat with a slide. We spent the whole day on the lake. The kids pretty much played on the slide all day. It was a hot day, but the lake felt great and there was a nice breeze. Other than a totally creepy guy sitting in his boat near us for a while, we had the cove to ourselves.
When the meltdowns started, we headed back to camp and the kiddos and adults had water balloon battles for the rest of the afternoon and then after dinner it was Smores' time.
We packed up Saturday and headed home. I think it was one of our more successful camping trips - no rain, no sewage issues... We did have to leave our faithful tent of 12 years behind. The zipper on the front door split out. We were so glad to get home to our air conditioning, beds and our sweet puppy Pepper.
