Dad was bound and determined to get out of town this weekend. I kept saying that the weather is going to be - cold and crumbbbbbbby. He said we are going anyway.
We did and we had lots of fun inspite of weather stuff. We camped at Marshall Lake & had our pick of campsites. This is a lake we have been to before. It is by Newport.On Friday afternoon it rained the whole time, Saturday we woke up to broken clouds and a little sun. We went up to Bonners Ferry where Dad looked at and bought a transmission for this big truck he just purchased. By the time we got back to camp it was getting pretty windy. There were white caps on the lake - too windy for boats. So actually we spent a lot of time in the camper and taking naps & reading. (which was good for Dad). I should have brought some scrapbooking stuff to do. That would have been the perfect thing. But - We watched a movie after dinner each night and that was fun too. Sunday we woke up and Dad fixed breakfast and we read scriptures for a while and then walked to the dock and came back and had a nap. We woke up and enjoyed the day with lots of sunshine - but no boating on Sunday. We enjoyed watching the ground squirrels by camp and fed them some bread scraps. I guess you can have fun wherever and whatever happens. Just being together is the important thing.

your trip sounds like it was very relaxing. What movies did you watch? Cute pics too. What meals did you do for your dinners? Camping does sound so fun!
We watched Benjamin Button one night and the other was New in Town.
Friday we had pork steak with mushrooms and onions and fried potatoes. Saturday we had expected E and J to come up so we had a bunch of hotdogs ready to cook. We had gone to Sandpoint to the cheese factory and bought some squeeky cheese curds and some large sausages. So we had hotdogs and sausages, watermelon,
salads, chips and dip. Mostly just stuff that was in the fridge. I enjoy camping with a few modern conveniences now days. It makes it all worthwhile.
