• We had our July Girl Scout activity this week. The girls wanted to go to 'Jump On It' with some of the money they earned selling Girl Scout Cookies. 'Jump On It' is a huge warehouse type place that has the floor covered in trampolines. There are trampolines even on the walls! We had never been there but all my kids LOVED it! It turned out to be a fun time with all the other moms in the troop as well. Addy's favorite part was swing on the rope swings and jumping from them down to the trampolines.
• On Thursday evening we left for our camping trip up to Jordanelle State Park. We got in really late on Thursday so we had just enough time to set up camp and fall asleep. 
• Friday morning we launched the jet skis (I backed the jet ski trailer down the driveway into the lake for the first time:) and took the whole family on a ride around the lake and picked up the water trampoline we rented for the weekend. We played in the lake all  day and on Friday afternoon our friends, the Tongi family pulled into the camp site next to us. They came just in in time for the first storm. We could see the storm coming in but it was still a ways off so we started picking up the camp and all of a sudden a HUGE gust of wind came and broke the awning on the trailer. It took all four of the adults about 20 minutes to roll the awning up. It was bad! Thank goodness the Tongis were there otherwise the wind would have broken the awning right off and it was have flown and probably hit another trailer or hurt someone. After a few hours the weather cleared and we all came out for a campfire and cobbler.
• Saturday was a perfect day at the lake until dinner time and another storm came in. Todd was driving fast in the "No Wake Zone" because he could see lightening in the sky and ended up getting a ticket by the lake police! The storm cleared up again and we made another campfire and the kids just played and had a wonderful time. 
• All Saturday night Brynn cried that her ear hurt. Since we were up all night long we ended up packing up Sunday morning and heading home were we had some ear drops for her. 
• All in all, it was a great weekend at the lake! The kids had the best time, we loved taking a break from it all but between the storms, the awning, and a sick kid we were ready to head home on Sunday:)
