overally optimistic, somewhat unrealistic



Posted by Picasa

Imagine: Grandma Diana, Julia, Jocelyn and I all sitting in a shower stall in the campground bathroom at 7am. We listen to reports of golf ball size hail, 60 mph sustained winds, and lightening strikes. We think how nice it would be to actually be showering after a few days. We then decide that 1) we wish we brought the camera and 2) camping might be really over rated. :)
The good news is that we fared the storm well and made some memories along the way. My sister only saw one tent fly by, thankful that we weren't the ones chasing it. Our tents flooded and I think Tim summed it up well when we called him from the shower stall to check the radar..."Dude, what are you doing?!?"
Aunt Dawn planned quite the camping adventure. The meals were awesome, campfires with s'mores, playing in the sand, and splashing in the water. We had an amazing time together. We had fun reminiscing over the many weekends we spent as kids on the same ground. We hope our children will look back and smile as well. As for the little ones...we'll be sure to remind them of Camping 2009.
