From my hammock.. our poor tent...

I'm in my hammock Looking out on a sparkling Lake O'the Pines. This weekend is the pefect for camping. We r camping on the spur of a beautiful morn.
There r only a handful of Tenters with us and no one in our circle. We've biked the park without traffic. Fun.

We prepared in merely 2.5 hrs. We arrived n the dark even so set up n dinner over the fire went very well.

Last night a first.... The girls turned to each other "are you ready for bed yet?" soon they agreed and off they went. They even shared an air mattress. Amazing. I guess they we tired. It was 11:55!

We've listened to & watched a blue heron.

Maple stole bread and later meat n cheese to complete her lunch. Lovebug was not laughing with us after being told she was too close to Maple.

Alas, from that point on we've gleaned camping lessons...

• Don't forget Dramamine needed from watching the waves
• Remember a book & knitting & cards for games

Lovebug and I headed home on the first sprinkles after a few chapters of Little House on the Prairie.

Where did this rain come from??? And when will it stop.

Hubbie and the little one bedded down... to awaken near midnight with water collecting on the tent.

Evacuated. We've left the tent in the rain... and hubbie & Ladybug got home about 1:30.

Today we must got get our poor wet tent. With what looked like 200# of water one of the poles has buckled... Oh, poor tent... now we're challenged to get it ready to camp again this month.

How do you dry a tent??!?? Oh, where's the lovely sunshine??

Grace! ss
