The first night brought some thunderstorms. Besides a few wet areas, we all faired pretty well. However, with more rain in the forecast, we decided it would be a good idea to have some extra protection, so we all took what tarps we had and tried our best to reinforce everything. Our make-shift shanties were pretty funny. And cozy. The Frigs arrived Saturday morning, and once their camp was set up, it was time to take advantage of a sliver of sunshine and go for a hike. We may have ruined the kids last year with our monster adventure, so we promised a quick and easy one to our favorite spot, Stephens Falls. Green, lush and gorgeous. When we went back, it was beach time. Turned out to be perfect for it. The beauty about a dismal weather forecast, by the way, is less people. The beach was less crowded. The bathrooms. That part was really nice to be honest. Anyhow, back to the beach. It's just so much fun watching the kids partaking in some good old fashioned fun, and we ended up staying way too long as usual. The second night is Frito Pie night, and per tradition, the frozen chili ended up taking absolutely forever. It was well into dark before we finally were able to eat. But again, the kids had a great time playing Telestrations while the adults enjoyed a few cocktails and manned the fire. Once dinner was had, and some of us retreated to bed, a hard-core group including H stayed up until the wee hours playing Cards Against Humanity.
