Labor Day Weekend 2009

What a fun and relaxing weekend we had! Todd and I joined three other families at Lake Bob Sandlin and camped "Kristin-style" (aka cabins with a/c and bathrooms!). Our friends, the Shollacks, are members of a church that owns a wonderful camp right on the edge of the lake. There are several cabins as well as other facilities for summer campers and other events. You may remember hearing about the site in this post from July.

The time we spent with the Shollacks, Westfalls, and Barkers was awesome! On Saturday, we got settled, hung out for a while, walked around camp, went out to eat, and then chatted around the campfire. It was a nice day to just hang out and relax.

Sunday morning, we got up and Tom cooked almost most of our delicious breakfast on the grill. We had biscuits, sausage, gravy (that I made inside), scrambled eggs, and fruit. Something about a campfire just makes food taste better. After our breakfast settled, we went out on the Barkers' boat and did some tubing. Boy, are my arms sore! Here are videos of both Todd and me tubing. You won't see any demonstrations of grace or skill, but we had fun!






The ladies watched the kids and men dive and slide at the dock while we sunned and floated. For dinner, we grilled chicken, hot dogs, grilled corn, and s'mores for dessert. Another delicious meal. Afterwards, the kids were beat and fell asleep early. That gave the adults another chance to sit around the fire while drinking and chatting.

Enjoy some of our photos!
