Day 2

Saturday Nolan slept until about 6:45 am...which he stuck to most of the weekend. Not bad considering there were skylights. We had a breakfast of champs, cereal and powdered sugar donuts, apprantely a McMenamy camping tradition. We then headed to the lake/beach for swimming. Tim and Becky, friends from Crestview joined us for the weekend but were tent camping in a different part of the park. They met us at the lake with their son dog, Brady. Nolan was having so much fun I went back to the campsite and made some sandwiches to eat on the beach. After he had turned into a fish from swimming so much, we headed back for a short nap. Tim and Becky cooked for us Saturday night and then we girls played some Bingo. Then we finished the night off by sitting around the campfire, snacking on S'Mores.
Brian and Nolan swimming.

A view of the beautiful lake/trees!Becky, Brady & Tim:I love that Becky tied Bucky up to this sign. It's not a camping trip without breaking some rules!

Nolan protested a nap profusely, but was sound asleep before his head hit the pillow! Haley couldn't resist an afternoon rest herself!

Becky & Tim's campsite, it was really shaded and pretty!Tim trying to "steal" her s'more. Never attempt stealing chocolate from a woman, it will never end well!

Nolan used one of their mugs to drink water out of. We told him it was "coffee" just like Mom & Dad and he used it the rest of the weekend, referring to his drink as "coffee" no matter what we put in there (milk, water, juice, whiskey...nah, not really, just seeing if you were still paying attention).Becky & I playing Bingo. I would like to say we won, but we didn't. Boo!! Oh well, it was still lots of fun!

Bingo, and a bed to sleep in...now that is my kind of camping. Andrew on the other hand would have been comparing this to the Hilton!
