Labor Day Camping

So we headed back to the campground with the "jumpy thing" (as Macie calls it) over Labor Day (aka the Yogi campground in Autin, MN). Our family got there Friday about 3:00 & enjoyed the weather. Saturday morning we were joined by Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Kurt, Auntie Katie & Cousins; Sam, Tyler & Brielle. We were able to enjoy lunch & then some rain moved in.....it turned out to be A LOT OF RAIN..... A FLOOD! Kent figures we got about EIGHT INCHES & in a VERY short amount of time! Grandpa Kurt went from feet on the ground, to feet on a couple 2 x 4's, to feet on a cooler. It was UNREAL! In one area they had 2 tents go under, a car get way too much water & 2 pop -up campers get too much water. So after they were done with them, they headed over & pumped us out. We still had a great time, but to say the least the kids were WET & DIRTY! The kids were still able to do a lot; a paddle boat ride, riding the mini bike, riding the peddle bikes, jumping on the jumping pillow, several train rides, riding the little bikes, just tons of fun stuff. Auntie Katie & our cousins crashed in the camper with us & stayed till nap time on Sunday. We stayed through the day & night Sunday & headed home Monday. It was a VERY wet, but VERY fun weekend!

Our Family - Macie (almost 3) & Brayden (1-1/2)
