Family Campout

What is one of the best experiences for families to have fun and be together? Camping! And, what makes the experience really memorable? Rain! Rick and I made camping a regular activity for the kids when they were growing up and we have some great memories. This past weekend Zac and Brit drove up and we were all going to camp at Lake Quachita. Both kids had gotten tents as wedding presents and had not used them yet. So we decided it was time! Friday evening was great. We grilled and sat around the campfire and even had s'mores. No problems with getting the tents set up. Then about 2 a.m. it started. Thunder, lightening and rain! At first it was soothing, but when the drips starting dropping, uh-oh! At 6, we all climbed into the cars and headed for breakfast at the local restaurant! Needless to say we all needed naps, but definitely a new family memory that included the new spouses! gail
