June 10

Back from camping. Even though it was cold and rainy we had a good time. We lost the fly about 2 years ago in a wind storm, so we I had to get creative with covering the tent. The tent is so large that the smallest tarp I could find that would be large enough to cover all of it (tent is 16 x 14) was a tarp that was 16 x 30.
My sister joined us for one night. She didn't make it long though. I think their air mattress lost air and the coyotes were making a lot of noise. Fun having her.

The kids decided they wanted to go canoeing and paddle boating. Ky and Ry did the canoe. Mary, Ty and I went on the paddle boat. I had no idea how much work it would be. Afterwards we stopped and had dinner. The brats were good. On our last night, there was a threat of thunderstorms. I pulled my tent in under the tarp. It worked through the day on Saturday (rained off and on) that night we decided to begin packing it up and I ended up sleeping in the vacation home, with the 4 kids. It was a bit cramped. I missed having a tent all to myself.

The tent is now set up at home in the backyard. It needed some airing out. Tyler and I slept out in there last night. As did Nicki and Chloe.
