Ward Campout

The Fathers and Sons' Camp-out was cancelled due to weather and was rescheduled as a family camp-out for the 17th and 18th.
So, when it has been about 105 during the day and still 102 at 6 pm what would we do but go camping of course. It really was fun just hot!!
Ready to Roll!
We camped at Murrell Park at Grapevine Lake and so there was swimming. I stayed on shore and took pictures. One family brought the above inflatable raft and there was an island about 50 yards or so from shore. This boat was powered by Peter and Parker (Webster) power.
Arabella and Parker on the island with Joey clambering over the rocks.
The adventurers (l to r): Parker and Brody Webster, Peter with Arabella on his shoulders, Jon and Joey.
Peter helping Arabella float. She loves her daddy and trusts him to keep her safe.
Yea for water on a hot day!

We got to watch fireworks from the shore that were let off by Grapevine City. We of course roasted marshmallows and Brother Ostermiller made 2 great dutch oven cobblers. Peter brought glow sticks and shared them with all of the kids and they were so happy.
Sleep was rough; our air pump battery was dead so no air pump; it was windy so the breeze was nice but it was 95 degrees at midnight. I finally slept in the truck with the windows down and the passenger seat reclined.
Jon does not look it but they all had fun. They each have sticky dirty faces from eating those giant marshmallows the night before and syrupy pancakes for breakfast.
This picture is simply to prove that I was really there.
