Storm

At about 4:00 on Wednesday the breeze picked up. Nate was just on his way to the shower when it hit. In less then 5 minutes the wind had picked up to at least 90 miles an hour! Tree limbs were flying everywhere! We tried to get all the kids in the camper as fast as we could! The aunning was was still out on the camper so all the guys were trying to keep that from blowing away when a pole on the ti-pi fell! My boys and the dog were still in there. I grabbed them and got them in the camper. This is what the ti-pi looked like...
Then I realized that the boat was gone. Some other campers that were there had chased it down. It had flown about 200 yards and landed up the hill. This was un-real and I wish I had taken video instead of pictures because you just can not believe what it was like.

The guys stayed out trying to make sure that dinner kept cooking and that nothing else flew away. It rained for about an hour after this and the guys were soaked.
This put a damper on our water play for the rest of the trip, but the kids enjoyed playing on the playground still and we had gotten in plenty of water play before this.

It must be that when we go camping with the Taylors we are bound for RAIN! But we love to go with them and can't wait to go again!
