The day school got out, Josh went to Camp Spalding with Daddy and the kids and I (with the trailer!) headed up to Priest Lake. The original plan included Drew and Annie's family along with the Swanson and Lochhead parents, but Nels got an ear infection--and we all know what camping with a sick toddler is like--so the plans changed. Oden came up with our crew and we met the parents, who had gone up earlier to set up camp. They were so helpful in getting our trailer all set up. Usually Jeff transforms the little trailer into a pop-up camper, but he was gone and I had to try to use the part of my brain that usually relies on him.
Jeff and Josh got to us on Saturday, and the cousins had loads of fun before Oden went home with Slick and Bama. (Nosebleed in the middle of the night #1 called for laundry and mattress woes...) But the cousins had lots of bike memories and wrestling in the camper memories...! Colleen and Scott gave us an anniversary gift of...a night without children! All three stayed in the camper with G'ma and Papa while Jeff and I...went to a movie and ate out at a fancy restaurant.
Actually we shivered down at the dock for 10 minutes--took a pictures so that we could remember that it happened--and then turned in to watch Ocean's Eleven on the laptop in the camper. Wahoo, eleven year anniversary! Actually, not having to pile blankets onto cold kids in the middle of the night and/or telling them to go back to sleep at 6am in the trailer is actually quite a vacation!
Amazing Grace.
Oh my JOSH!
Micah Man.
