camping is wet


If you have never been camping when it is pouring out; you are in for a real treat for this very thing happened to me this weekend. Friday we packed and left and had a pretty good time Fri evening and Sat. On Sat. we went to the beach and played in the water; Mia and Jonas stayed on the beach part for about two hours ; they never moved; just pouring and dumping, dumping and pouring. Joel wandered around with his super hero sounds while my mom and I talked. When we came back Amelia was feeling hot so we put her in the tent to rest; Brian fell asleep but Mia didn't *L* So Brian stayed asleep most of the day and on thru even when it started raining. It started raining around 3pm and it didn't stop until Sunday morning at six am! well, it stopped for a few minutes in between; but youget the idea! The problem with rain and feeling wet and soggy is that people get short tempered and cranky, water is spilling on you from the tarp, people become more annoying and smores are a sad sad joke; I put the children in the car with a movie and we adults played gin rummy and it got a little better then; but Abby and I were tired so off to bed with us. The others stayed up later and played an elec. game; I forget what its' called. This morning we basiclly got up and started packing and here we are. Brian has been sleeping since we came back; I have done two loads of laundry, dishes, cleaned and dried the tarp that the tent was on, played with the children, put mia to sleep, took a nap and a bath. *not at the same time* now it's about 6:30; I have to get Joels' stuff together for school tomorrow.
Have a pleasant evening!
