An Ugly Four Letter Word...WIND!

Sometimes in Las Vegas, the wind blows 400 mph, and your trusty old boat "the green machine" decides it doesn't want to cooperate. Then, your awesome plans for camping on the lake get squashed. But you decide to make the best of it and have fun anyway. So...you drive the TRUCK (not the boat, as Zander will tell you 100 times) and find a camping spot!

You set up a tent,
you cook tinfoil dinners and peach cobbler,
you eat the delicious dinner and wonder why it always tastes so good cooked outside,
you watch a movie in the tent and eat your pirate booty,
and say, "Hey that turned out to be an awesome camping trip, mom and dad!"
Then other times in Las Vegas, it's 105 degrees with 1 mph wind! You have a daddy that is so handy and straightened "the green machine" right up. You're driving home and think, we need to go to the lake.....RIGHT NOW! So you hurry and load everything up and go!
You enjoy the beautiful scenery with your mommy,
you play some football with your dad,
and just cruise around the lake!
Always a perfect day when you're with your family...no matter what the weather!

Sounds like the perfect day to me! We would certainly welcome some nice warm, even windy and warm, weather here in England!

I'm jealous! Next time you go camping, invite the Haldemans to come along! We're not all dead weights. Renae is good for lots of things.

I think sometime the worst part about living in Vegas is the wind- it finally gets to be the perfect temperature and it's too windy to enjoy it. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun though.

So fun. It usually ends up good, so glad for you!

What a fun family outing. I wish our weekend weather had been a lot more pleasant. I'm jealous you got to go to the lake, it was to dang cold here.
