Memorial weekend, this year, we were invited to go camping with some friends in Blueridge, TN. I was a little hesitant to go, since we'd be staying on an island in the middle of the lake. There were two concerns with this situation, #1 we'd have to get all of our camping gear to the island on our boat and #2 NO BATHROOM!!! I went back and forth about it and couldn't decide. I'd just had surgery a couple of weeks before, for more kidney problems and had a stint placed in my uretur and I wasn't sure if it was the best idea to go where we wouldn't be close to a hospital if there were problems. But, with a lot of peer pressure, we caved and decided to go. Mike of course came up with a list of things we needed for the trip and a million $ later, we were ready to go! Who ever said camping is cheap, has never camped!
Getting to the island was no easy task. We had to load EVERYTHING on the boat, including 5 people and two big dogs and Mike was adament about only making on trip. There was a lot of frustration, sweat, tears and not so nice words, but we made it and had a great time! I'm really glad we went. The kids had so much fun!!
Braxton and one of his best buds, Jared. They were throwing rocks into the lake and the sun was setting and they were talking and laughing having a great time. It was just so nice and peaceful.
We don't boat on Sunday, so the kids tried to entertain themselves by making a basketball hoop and played some basketball.
By the time we left to head home, the kids were wiped!!! They slept almost the entire drive home.
