Family Camping

Well,
This week was a wet and wild adventure.
Friday night started off great, we got to my parents right on time, headed over to the campground and set up camp. the kids played and the camp fire burned late into the night.
Then Saturday morning we awoke to constant drizzle to hard rain, not fun for the tent campers in the group who took cover in campers and makeshift screen room until the sun came out in the early afternoon for a little kayaking and Canoeing.
As we sat around the fire saturday night the kids tucked snugly in their sleeping bags, the thunder began, and we waited for the first little sprinkle. Until we heard the down pour approach, quick as a chipmunk we folded up our chairs, got the drying towels off the lines and headed to our trailers for the night. leaving Roxie in the tent outside. Well about an hour after the rain began, the dog was relocated to the entryway of one of the trailers. Then about 3 in the morning after everything had been reloacted by the hard winds the pick up of items began. tables tipped over, tarps tore down, and tents blown away!
When morning light came the mess became clear, the monsoon rains had taken their toll on the roads, making many of them impassable and my parents basement flooded from one end to the other, for the first time in 30 years!
thankfully when we got home, there was no water in our basement, but another round of rain came at night and cut our warm weather short.
Back this week to 12 hour work days. Poor josh to be home alone all week with mister.
