Kaitlyn was enjoying playing in the Sand (mud) along the shore. The only thing was that it was quite windy and the temperature dropped, so it wasn't as warm as we would have liked.

Kathryn, Jared and Kimber just relaxing and enjoying the wind?
Little Chloe loves camping.
Dan working on the Dutch Oven dinner we had that night. Alicia and Jacqui make the best dutch oven dinners. It was so good.
Everybody was hungry and we all enjoyed dinner together. I don't think we got too much sand in our food that evening.
You can kind of see the set up of our campsite. We tried to shield our tents from some of the wind, but then it would change direction and come from a different angle. Oh Well!
Me holding Chloe. Not a great picture of me, but at least I got one.
After the sun went down, we built the campfire and settled down for smores and campfire jokes. The grandkids loved telling their jokes to each other. Even if they don't make sense, they are in the spotlight and that is what matters.
Two little cousins getting to know each other better.
One little girl just konked out for the night.
We all went to bed late or at least to our tents and listened to the wind howl till the early morning. Then when we woke up it was silent, no wind, until after breakfast, it started up again. Several of us went out on the Lake on Jared's family's boat and had a fun time. No pictures of that though. When I got back and was watching some of the kids a huge whirlwind of sand came through our camp and destroyed Alan and Jacqui's tent. I rushed the kids into my car and we spent a while in the car because the kids were afraid to get caught in a sandstorm again. So we had fun eating snacks and telling stories.
All in all it was an adventure. Probably not the best campout I have been on. (Couldn't wait to get home and shower) But I think the Grandkids will remember it (especially the sandstorm)and the memories are what count!
