Ok, so the doctor told us no wrestling for Trenton over the weekend, and with him going to Iowa for team duals next weekend, we decided to go with the doctor's advice. We decided as a family that he could rest just as well at the camper as he could at home, so we headed up to the campground for the weekend. It was Tyler's weekend to take a friend and he brought his friend, Reid. It worked out well, no rain, so they were able to stay in the tent. Ben also went ahead and bought a tube and a rope for the big fishing boat to use for Tyler, Reid and Gabi. It turned out to be a great investment. We got up on Saturday morning and took the boys over to Lake James and Snow Lake. It was great! The boys each went about 3 times (falling off in between at least 2-3 times)! and the fishing boat pulled them about 25-30 mph - faster than what Ben originally had thought. He did, however, make the mistake of pulling the boys first, and trying to throw them off, before he invited Gabi to go. She did eventually, get on and go - only about 8 mph though. The water was warm, almost 75 degrees while the air was nearly that temp, and it wasn't blarring sun...clouds most of the time. After nearly 4 hours on the lake we went back to the camper (just a couple miles down the road) to eat dinner and celebrate Yogi, Cindy and Boo Boo's birthday. It was a big hit. I made a cake for the family to enjoy while the campground supplied the ice cream. YUM! Sunday morning we took a short jog over to Manapogo Campground, where Chad and family camped with some friends, Bob and family. Bob just happened to have a fish and ski boat and wanted to have some play time with our boys (since all their kids are 2 and under). They did have some fun...pulled Tyler 5o mph on a tube and was also able to pull both the boys at the same time as well!!! The boys had a blast. We only stayed a couple of hours and went back to Jellystone for lunch and start packing up. It was really nice that we didn't have to leave at a certain time. Many campers around us were hurrying to get out (2 pm checkout) so by the time we got back, the campground had emptied out quickly. Trenton took a nice long nap again while Reid and Tyler went out fishing. We didn't leave the campground till about 4:30 pm. But, that's how it's supposed to be...when you're camping, their is no such things as time. We eat when we're hungry and sleep when we're tired. No clocks involved. I got some great photos from this weekend...Gabi was the poser most of the weekend-very cute though! You can check them all out here.
