Camping at Jackrabbit

So we just got back from from our first camping trip in 4 years and I only have two words to sum up the experience, wet and cold. Ok, let me back up a little bit, we returned from Florida, Monday night, unpacked, went to bed, woke up on Tuesday, re-packed and left to go camping. We were tired from traveling, but excited to camp with our friends, the Sampsons and do some boating. The camping spot was about an hour and a half away, so we thought the weather would probably be close to what it was supposed to be here, WRONG! We get to the campground and start to set everything up, as we were putting the tents up, it starts to pour! Everyone was soping wet, and a lot of our stuff was too. It stopped long enough for us to finish setting stuff up. Mike took the kids out on the boat. They did some tubing, eventhough it was cold. Pretty much our entire trip was off and on rain and wind. The lake was so beautiful though. No one was there so the water was glass, it was so hard to not go out and do some wakeboarding and skiing, but I knew I would pay for it, by being cold the rest of the day. Everyone has their "cryptonite" and mine is being wet and cold. The kicker is, at about 7pm the clouds would break a little bit and the sun would shine until it set and it would be clear all night. But during the day time it was cloudy, cold and rainy.

Braxton, Zach, Parker, Carter(Puzey), and Max. The boys had a great time!

Hailey, just waking up. She loved sleeping in the tent, in her pink "princess" sleeping bag.

The boys found a rope swing, which I think was the highlight of the trip. Mike helping Braxton get on.
