Camping

We went camping this last week with Dave's family for their annual family reunion. We had fun, but it's definitely tougher with two little kids. This is us waiting in the Walmart parking lot for Dave to pick up some things for his family. (This year we had cell phone reception at the camp site.)

Here's our lovely campsite. Dave had a nice setup, with a little porch and chairs in front.


Here's the glo-stick the kids all got one night. Will would not take his off. In fact, he still wears it.

We had a major thunderstorm on Friday afternoon. There was tons of rain, some hail, and of course, some lightning strikes, some very close. Here's the tree that was hit in our campsite, which just happened to be feet from our tent and car (it's the one in the middle with the mark on it). Dave and I were actually right by the tent getting some jackets when the lightning struck. I could feel the electricity and heat, and smell the burnt wood. We also had wood chips fly on us from the tree. Very scary!
