We're back!

We are back from camping. We camped from Thursday to Saturday (3 days, 2 nights). Well, the weatherman was right, it'll rain for those 3 days. Rain was pouring hard when we got there Thursday. We have to set up our tents in the wet grass and soil. Look at how dark and heavy those clouds are in the picture. That's where we are heading.

Our fellow campers got soaked setting up their tents. We were greeted with heavy, pouring rain. But kids are happy they saw a train paseed by (my kids are fascinated by trains, especially the boys!). And as usual, our minivan is packed, even with a car top carrier already being used. lol.

THINGS I'LL NEVER FORGET:
(1)Jakob got to use a camera for the first time. Wrong settings though. We used flash for all his pics and it is already bright outdoors so the outcome for all pics are not so nice. He got a good one of the water, though;

(2)Jethro went to the hospital on Friday for an emergency "pop". His elbow got dislocated from playing so we have to get a doctor to pop the elbow back to its place (he had it before, so we were not surprised). Good thing there was a hospital in the area;
(3)We got a chance to go "boating" in the rapids..IN THE HEAVY RAIN! We did not do it last year because we did not know that there was this nice rapids in the camp and also, Jethro was still young for us to do such thing last year. It was so much fun.

There are 8 families from Faithway Baptist Church that joined us this year. And I think it made the camping more fun. Kids get to play with other kids they know. We get to have a feast EVERY single meal. We have a good campfire get-together at night. We got the whole island to ourselves (except for one campsite, but they came late Friday night so the island's ours for most part!). We would definitely want to camp together again. So many helping hands, and so many laughs!!!
