A tradition is started...

Over the weekend we got to spend some quality time with our good friends, the Labelle's and the Snyder's, camping up at Priest Lake. We picked the best weekend for it as it was extremely hot all weekend long. Our original plan was to camp up at Lion Head camp ground, but when Megs, Chris and Jim got there Thursday morning it was already full. Apparently lots and lots of people had the same plan. They headed back around the lake and found a spot at the first campground they stopped at, in Reeder Bay. It worked out great being so close to Elkins…we could walk over for breakfast, things we forgot, the cleaner bathrooms (Megan!!!), or a little nightcap :)

Even though Elkins was so close we did do a lot of our own cooking. One morning we had bacon, eggs, and pancakes (thanks chris and jim) and another night we had Steak and corn, it was so good i am still thinking about it! Some pretty impressive camping meals if I do say so myself…not that I did any of the hard stuff. Diane and I cooked the hamburgers and hot dogs on the last night :)

Bobby's Grandpa even let us take the boat out for the day on Saturday. Bobby, Chris, Megan, and Diane all wake boarded while Jim brought us back to 1992 and did some knee boarding.

We spent the majority or our time on the beach playing in the water, reading, consuming beverages, relaxing and soaking up the sun.



Bobby had some trouble finding a chair to hold him...He's such a Tuesday:)



At night we played games and told stories around the campfire and even had a near death experience with a cell phone battery and the fire (oops). Thankfully no one was hurt and it is something we can look back at and laugh about in the years to come; as was the entire trip. Looks like we have another tradition to add to our growing list of things to do together!
