Long Time, No Blog

It's been awhile! Things have been a little hectic here, and when I get overwhelmed I tend to go into Do Nothing mode. I'll try to catch up on a few fun events we've done.

First, camping. We went camping with Ben's friend Jeff and his parents over at Saylorville. We set up camp, played games, ate snacks, cooked out supper, and had some good chit-chat. Then the Weather Service called Rich into work because they were getting storms. Good thing the campground was pretty much in the backyard of the Weather Service! About an hour after that, it started thundering, lightening, and torrentially pouring down rain. We all got in the tent and were going to play games, but the rain started pooling on the bottom of the tent, so we were stranded on a foam pad in the middle of the tent. The thunder and lightening were a bit unnerving, especially when you are next to a forest and covered by a thin layer of canvas. But we came through, and about 9:15 pm Rich called me to say another round of wind & storms were coming through in about half an hour, so we quickly packed it in and called it a day. It was fun while it lasted!
