The women took all the kids for a walk after supper to play at the park while the boys stayed back and....well I'm not sure what they were up to?! They were missing when we returned. They apparently went on their own walk through the campground and made friends with whoever would talk to them!
Mason and Colt had brought some of their toys up, and they all enjoyed playing with them around the campsite.
We roasted some hot dogs for supper...it's a must when you're camping!
As always, there was no shortage of food .
WEEEEEEE!
The mosquitos were relentless! The smoke from the campfire wasn't even enough to keep them away!
The highlight of the weekend was when we took the boat out Saturday morning and got in some tubing before the clouds and rain came!
Uncle Tony and Dad had to give a test run on the tube before the kids got on.
After the test run, we all loaded on for a ride. Aiden and Tyson love being pulled on the tube! I think they could have stayed on it all day had the weather cooperated.
Look out-crazy driver!!
The clouds started to look a little more ominous, so we decided to go back to shore. Randy and the boys mentioned something about the "sisters" riding it back in together. We should have known there was an alterior motive! After several tries to throw us off and a few close calls later we finally made it to shore.....still on the tube!! Better luck next time Randy!!
In between the rain storms the boys had a lot of fun playing in the water along the shore.
Saturday evening we celebrated Drew's birthday with a super hero party! The boys had a lot of fun with it.....that is, everyone but this little guy....
He wasn't all that convinced it was a good idea.
Tyson, however, was Batman and played the part well!
Aiden gets a bit camera shy and refused to look at the camera for the group picture.....so modest!
Aiden gave Mason a little ride around the campsite on Saturday night. We didn't stay around the campfire much, because the already obnoxious mosquitos were 10 times worse after all the rain we got that afternoon. Let's just put it this way...it's amazing someone in our group didn't end up with West Nile. Everyone was covered with them! Aiden is apparently very sensitive to them and had enormous welts all over his body!! He looked miserable!! Thank God for Benadryl!
It may not have been filled with sunshine, but our weekend at Shadehill was great! We can't wait to do it again next year. Thanks again Heidi and Randy. Count us in for next year!!
