This trip was fun. Me, Scott, Walker and Kaylee went with Coreen, Steven, Amanda and Lillyin. We stayed 4 nights and 5 days. When we first arrived we didn't like the placement of our two sites. They were big, but no close trees for tying tarps. They also seemed very far away from each other, even though they were adjacent sites. We got permission to use a different site and the owners of the campground allowed us all on just one site. We set it up so that we had plenty of tarp space in between the two campers. Good thing because it rained the first 2 nights of the trip. The Bear Camp River almost crested. Scott and I stayed up until 3:30 one night, to make sure we weren't flooded out. Not this trip. Good. The river ended up going down over the next couple of days, so we were able to finally do some tubing down the river. Fun!
Walker and Lilly going a bit stir crazy. Too much rain.
Walker and Lilly playing a camp favorite, Staplemanchen.
All 4 kids playing Staplemanchen. It's amazing what they'll do camping that they'd never even consider if they were home with all their high tech games and such. It's one reason I love camping.
A little respite from the rain. It started up again a little while after this, but at least we were able to sit out around the fire.
Rain can't keep Scott from cooking meat on a stick.
Another rainy afternoon. Scott and I were playing cribbage.
Kaylee, Scott and Walker. Still raining.
Playing connect 4. You can see the water dripping off the tarp. At least it wasn't freezing.
Finally, some sun. Everyone line up and lets get to the pool!
We had the pool all to ourselves this day. It was great.
Ah, sun and fun.
Ah, sun and fun.
No rain!
Getting ready for tubing.
Tubing.
Walker, in front of the Weather Channel forecast. It was foreboding. We should have scrapped the whole plan for that next trip, but we didn't. Pictures coming some day. That next trip was the one with the death and destruction. We were excited to head out to Ames Brook.
