We took the camper to the Brown’s mom and stepdad’s house at Beaver Lake and set up in the neighbor’s driveway. We had a great time swimming, boating, tubeing and visiting. We went on a journey about 20 minutes in the boat to see some fireworks on the 4th. Shot some BBguns and spent some time relaxing. Of cource the kids set off some fireworks of their own and nobody got hurt. A complete success!

This time to Lake Afton. We had fabulous weather and had a great time. Jeff and Clayton went swimming and bike riding. They rode all the way around the lake!
We are getting used to the new camper now. Penny took it with Jeffrey Friday afternoon and got it set up. Clayton joined them after work that afternoon. She and Jeff did a great job of setting it up.
We got run out early Sunday (9:00) as there was a huge group of square dancers that reserved the west side and north side of the lake for a whole week. We left at exactly 9:00 a.m. Right on time.

We took the camper out again. This time to Cheney Lake. A state park about 45 min west. We have decided we are no longer going to camp when the wind is howling. This could have been a great weekend but was not because of major continous winds in excess of 35mph from Friday late night on through the entire weekend. I am so sick of wind! We still had fun swimming and hanging out, and on!

We went camping again! This time to El Dorado lake, about 1 hour from our house up the turnpike. There wan’t too many people there as it is still early in the season. We had a great time with Jeffrey and his friend Tyler. The weather was beautiful but got extremely windy on Sunday. We were going to stay Sunday night but decided to get out of the wind and came home Sunday afternoon. One of the awning poles got damaged during the wind, but should be fixable without too much trouble.
