Snow in July?

Yes, this is what we were greeted with when we went camping this weekend.  CRAZY!  Though it may look cold, it was truly gorgeous.  The temperature was 70 degrees and the lake was like glass in the mornings with a breeze coming through in the afternoons.  It just so happened that our camp site had more snow than anywhere else in the campground.  It was not a problem, because what you do not see in the picture is the huge flat piece of sunny land that was between the lake and our camper.  Kevin and I hauled some big rocks and made a makeshift fire pit and that was where we set up camp. 

Sid checking out our lake front property.  The camp site was huge.  We only had one neighbor within visual range. 

Kevin took each of the girls out in the raft to fish.  Next on our wish list is a second raft, so that I can paddle out with one of the girls at the same time!

Sidney was not too sure about the boat ride.  She remained pretty still the entire time.

Bill and Audrey were camping at the same time.  The girls got to play together a couple of play times.  The play time was not nearly long enough.  Kendall kept wanting to go in the trailer and "call" Audrey.  We kept explaining that the phone did not work at the lake.  Below is a picture of Kendall and Audreymaking their "machine".  The pink bucket had a hole in the bottom and they were draining the water into the purple bucket.  They dubbed it their "bucket machine".  They are not the offspring of engineers are they?

Sidney ate so much watermelon this weekend that I thought she would explode.  I suppose there are worse things in life to eat too much of. 

Our wonderful camping trip came to an early ending as we were having battery troubles and the alarm kept going off.  It woke us at 6 am on Sunday.  What a bummer since I rarely see the other side of 6 am with my eyes closed.  The day before I had slept in until almost 8am.  That is a miracle for me!

On the way home, we hit a couple of fishing spots along the way.  The girls are getting really into fishing.  I am amazed at their attention span.  It was a good time, but only left me craving for more...!
