Saturday Nov 27th 2009
We were all tired this morning. Last night was probably the warmest night of all so Robert(my youngest) and I slept until about 8. My mom cooked breakfast of eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, biscuits(in a cast iron over the fire), we also had muffins I made at home and brought with us. After breakfast the kids rented a paddle boat and Mike(Julies husband) paddled different groups of children around the lake. The other children continued to fish and play while Julie and I started packing it in. I was tired and longed for my bed. We had originally stated we would stay until Sunday, but boy was I glad Saturday had come. It was also the warmest day of all, it had to be somewhere in the seventies. As with the packing I realized right away James is usually the one to tear down the camp. We were getting food put away in coolers, trash in bags and all the dirty clothes put away in bags. The bees started to come around once it warmed up and everything they were attracted to everything that was sweet. Two of Julie's daughters were stung at least no one was allergic. Around 2 we heated up all the left overs and ate lunch with hopes that would take us until we reached the house. We had talked about leaving around 8 pm, but with the two hours drive ahead of us and not much sleep after the last thing was loaded we gave in to leaving at 6. It was an awesome time but we sure were glad to be home in our beds.
Was so sorry to see you leave, it was to quiet after all 10 kids were gone. Chuck and I shared our firewood with our new neighbors and stayed up late laughing about how excited the little kids were when they caught a 2 inch fish. The children had alot of fun. I'm so proud I raised such a good mother. I love you.
