What a glorious weekend! Except for a phone call Thursday afternoon from Barb that our newest auditor had "left the building", we departed without a hitch. We left a little later than anticipated, but it still went smooth. We will definitely be doing this camping trip annually. We had four campsites between the 16 campers. The worst part of the trip was Friday night when Frank dislocated his left knee, very badly. He had a great attitude about it, and we all keep hoping it will heal quickly. Friday, Amy and Cole rented a pontoon boat and made three trips out a couple hours each. We went on the second trip, ate a sandwich, and anchored in the cove by the marina and swam around the boat. Saturday they rented a jet ski and took turns taking us all out for a ride. What a blast. Sunday we leisurely packed up and checked out with a half-hour to spare before the 1:00pm checkout time. Thumper swam his heart out and had a blast. Friday, I took him swimming with his 20ft lead on and wrapped around my waist. He literally swam circles around me. The water and weather were perfect, the company enjoyable, and I wish we could have spent more time there.
Word(s) of the day: ASTERISK
Lexie Log: She had such a wonderful time that she actually teared up when we were driving away. Everyone there saw how adorable and entertaining she is. Her daredevil side showed frequently, when she jumped from the pontoon boat into the cove, when she rode the jet ski (two times) and begged Amy to go faster. She swam in the lake, played for hours with Marissa in the RV, around camp, and at the playground, watched movies in our RV with Marissa, drank hot cocoa, ate hot dogs, pudding, pop corn, and all sorts of fun snacks, and had the best time ever.
Today I'm grateful for Frank and Lexie, Mom and Dad, the truck house, camping, family, Detroit Lake, long weekends, water and life.
