Camping in the rain


We had had plans to go camping for a really long time, yet the weather never quite works with our plans. We went camping with 3 other families, Rusty & Mandy Cook, Mike & Holly Cook and Will & Karen Summerhays familys'. I really need Mandy's pictures for this as my camera's batteries were all dead. We really did have lots of fun, but this week lots of records were set in HI as the coldest weather ever.... I guess that's what you get when so many people from Utah move here.
The girls had lots of fun and we stayed dry in our tent, not all families did :) :) :) I think Mike said that his rain gauge showed we got 3/4 inch of rain during the night. We did have to cancel our Saturday hike and just headed home after breakfast, but John did get to use his new grill for the first time, he got it for Father's Day last year!
Abby loves chickens (bak bak's) and she loves to chase them around, we went for a walk together and I think there were about 50 of them following us back to camp. We really didn't want that so we had to jump and yell and chase scare them a little so they would not follow us anymore. It was rather hilarious to see her trying to scare them.
I'm still working on my scrapbooking a little. Here is a really quick page of Hailey and Alyssa as they were having a sword fight with their Mickey Mouse Light Sabers. The looked really funny with their swimming goggles on too!

I'm glad to hear that the sun isn't always shining over there. It is a good reminder for you of the people that miss you guys back here. You can do more camping when you move back.
Your scrapbook looks AWESOME! Keep it up.
