We're BA-ack!
We went camping! We left Thursday morning about 7am, and got home Tuesday about 9:30pm. It was quite a nice weekend! Thursday, we arrived at camp around 11am, got everything set up, and played in the water a bit. (We camp by a
creek).
Friday we spent most of the day
dredging. We got a little. The water was very cold! Friday night we made a Wal*Mart run (Wal*Mart is 30 minutes away from the campsite) and checked our phone messages.
Saturday about noon, our friends arrived and we helped them set up their tent, and dredged some more.
Sunday morning about 4am, we were rudely awakened by rain, thunder, and lightning... and the overhead tarp coming down. After getting soaked putting it back up, and getting everything back together, we found out that their tent leaked, and their stuff was wet. We sat down to breakfast about 8am or so. We spent most of the 4 hours singing and praying - alternately - as we set stuff back up and got rained on.
Monday morning about 4am, we were rudely awakened by rain, thunder, and lightning... and the overhead tarp coming down. We left it down (since it wasn't leaking and it was draining well) until about 8am. About 6am Robby got up and went to a nearby store to get something stronger to hold it up. It stayed up, then, until we took it down Tuesday morning.
Monday we did some more dredging.
Tuesday we got up and ate a little and packed up. It took us about three hours to get everything taken down and packed up. We left the campsite around 12:30 and stopped at McDonald's in Madisonville, TN for lunch. We caravanned to Chattanooga, then they went on home while we stopped to visit with some other dear friends. They fed us dinner and we played
a neat game, before coming on home.
We haven't unpacked yet, because it was dark when we got home, and Robby had an appointment out of town this morning.
