A Rainy Day


Thursday we had a storm blow through that dropped some pretty heavy rain for a while. According to the weather almanac, about 2.75 inches in about 3 hours. But it was a warm, summer rain. So of course the kids had to go out and play in it. Actually, they went for walks. But we got this picture before they left. Needless to say, they were all pretty wet by the time they got home.

Camping!

We went camping this weekend at our favorite camp ground. Sissy camping (with water, electricity, showers, flushies, the whole nine-yards). Not roughing it but we like it. We got there, pitched the tent and then set about relaxing. The menus were all planned so that no cooking was involved.


Brombeere got the fire going - she's the best "boy scout" in our family. Then we set up the camp chairs and got out the marshmellows. Schwarzebeere made sure that we ended up with the mega-sized marshmellows.


Some of us are better at cookingmarshmellows than others. Brombeere's, of course, turned out near perfect.


Others prefer theirs a little more cooked.


It was a good time. Lots of relaxing got done. Being the first one awake in the morning means some very peaceful, quiet time. And, as usual, it rained. Fortunately, only a little. It was a good time.
