As soon as we returned home from Oregon, we unpacked the car and got ready for the next adventure! On Sunday, I took the girls out to Silver Lake to camp with my parents and sisters.
It was cool and rainy when we set up camp and I quickly learned that our tent was no longer water-resistant. Thankfully, we were able to use the heater in Mom and Dad's trailer to dry out sleeping bags and between Kelsey's tent and the trailer, we all had dry places to sleep! (The tent ended up in the dumpster.)
Unlike other years, this year seemed a bit like a revolving door of who was staying the night! We had the sites reserved from Sunday-Wednesday. Kim and the boys came Monday morning and left Tuesday afternoon. Grandpa stayed Sunday night and then went home after dinner on Monday. He came back Wednesday morning to help pack up and drive the trailer home. And Owen ended up getting sick so he and Kelsey went home Tuesday evening!
Despite the weather not being warm enough to spend too much time at the lake, we all still had a great time. Kelsey brought her hammocks so there was a lot of time spent swinging in them. The boys made a bike track and built a fort in the woods, while the girls built a little fairy house. Owen learned how to play Euchre and we did make it out on the lake one evening for a little bit of paddle-boarding.
