We decided to become campers! For a while we will be tent campers. I am ok with that, but it means we are also fair weather campers! Last Friday we got all ready and went camping. It was cloudy, but nice. We set up our tent, we walked around, we had dinner with Melissa and Adam. It was great-- until about 7pm. Just as Brian and Adam were getting a fire ready some crazy looking clouds started moving in, fast. As soon as the clouds reached us all H-E-double-hockey-sticks broke loose. The wind collapsed Melissa and Adam's tent, Brian held on to ours, it started raining and Sydney started screaming because of the wind. As all this was going on, my phone rang and Brian's phone rang. Both our parents were calling to see if we were ok. My dad advised us to pack up and go home because of the weather advisory he was watching on the news. Then we looked at the clouds that make our decision for us. The clouds above us were swirling in a circle. I really thought we were going to witness a tornado. So, we packed up as fast as we could and went home. Sydney cried most of the way home (Payton slept through it all!) but was fine after a while. When we got home Syd was so upset about missing out on s'mores that I made her one in the microwave. I think it helped! Anyway, moral of the story as quoted by Sydney, "Maybe you should check the weather before we go camping." Nice, advice from the six-year-old.
