Memorial Day 2009

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend. We went camping at Otter Creek. We went with Mike's brother Chris, his sister Lauree and her husband Chris and their son Tanner. Also, our friends Colin, Melissa and her kids Aiden and Marley came as well. We left Friday afternoon to head down and get camp set up. As we were driving there it was raining but by the time we got there it let up a little so we were able to set up camp. After we set up camp we started a fire and sat around the fire, made dinner, and talked. Tyson fell asleep soon after we got camp set up so he did not join us around the fire the first night. He slept really well the first night. Had a bad night and did not sleep at much the second night. I think he was either teething or had a stomach ache. We gave him some Tylenol the next day and he started to feel better after that. He slept really good the third night. It rained most of the day Saturday until late in the afternoon so we hung out in the tents most of the morning. That afternoon the sun came out and we were able to do some fishing and four wheeling and hanging out outside of the tent. Sunday it was really windy a lot of the day but the sun shone most of the day. Tyson got really scared when he was in the tent and the wind would shake the tent. He did not like that at all. Sunday night we had a big fire and talked around the fire. Monday we got up, ate breakfast, packed up, and Mike, me, and Tyson headed to Aurora to go to the Harward family Reunion. We first met at Granpa Harwards grave then went to the Aurora church and had a family dinner and games. It was an overall fun weekend.

Here is Tyson sleeping in the little bed we made for him. Doesn't he look warm and comfy!?

We were able to come out of the tent Saturday for a little bit when the rain was taking a break. You can see in the pictures how dark and cloudy it was but that did not ruin our fun.

Mike was able to go fishing but didn't have any luck catching anything.

Here is me and Tyson fishing. That is Mike's brother Chris in the background.

Here is Mike and Tyson just hanging out.

Mike and I were able to go on a couple of four wheeler rides while the others watched Tyson. It was lots of fun. Mike is convinced we should get one of these. It would be fun but not practical in our lives right now.
