NOWLIN: Labor Day Camping.....

We left Friday at 5:30 am to head up north to our favorite camping spot at Hutch Mountain. We met our friends the Lees at Verde Valley and then drove the rest of the way with them. We were in our favorite spot up there... surprise it didn't all ready have campers in it... there were lots of people and nobody took OUR SPOT. We were all unloaded and ready for FUN by 9:00 am. Friday was a great sunny day, with lots of ranger rides and card playing of course. Saturday we went and got lots of wood and as soon as we got it all piled in the truck it started raining.... the ranger decided to stop running and we were soaked by the time we putted back to camp. I rained for 3 or 4 hours and really hard at times. It was so nice to see and smell the rain of the cool forest. We got lots of game playing in :))
It quit raining by 3:00 and we built a huge bon fire that burned until we all went to bed (I think we burned all the firewood we had gotten that morning. Sunday was a clear beautiful day, but our ranger wasn't working so No rides for the Nowlins. The Lees went on a nice long ride. We played some horseshoes and then got out the pitching machine and hit fly balls for all the girls. We had a great weekend and sad to see it end... now it will be back to busy time with Tatums gym meets approaching and Taylor and Tori back into Softball again. :)
