Blue Tarp Camping

Have you seen this commercial? This is what our weekend at Lake Cushman was like.

We have been going here every labor day for about 11 years, and this was by far the wettest! And it didn't just rain, it poured buckets! There were little lakes all around the campsite. We were in the trailer but Savannah and her friend were in a tent, as were our dear wet friends.


During a break in the rain, the kids had a fun game of jumprope!

We had as many rain shelters up as we could- this one collapsed Sunday morning from the weight of the water.

Even though it was cold, the kids still did some swimming in the lake!


We even took the boat out- until it decided to break down at the other end of the lake! So they used a ski to paddle to shore, then Charley climbed up a hill, walked about a mile, then flagged down a car to give him a ride to the campground. He took the battery out of the trailer to put in the boat.

This is the rock they had gone to when it broke down, so the kids just enjoyed some rock jumping while the boat repairs were being done.

Here's Savannah jumping!

No to be outdone by his sister, Jake jumped too!

Sunday morning- so wet outside, but nice and dry inside the little trailer!

It was a little cramped but we fit almost everyone inside for a yummy breakfast of Space Needle Sandwiches!

Then everyone wanted to go home- a day early.
The kids and I stayed dry playing dominoes

Of course this weekend it's supposed to be in the 80's.
