Promise Rehab Camping and Boating Trip

Last weekend we had our annual rehab boating trip. This year Barb and Kevin offered their cabin as a place to stay on Friday night. We were excited to get the kids out camping for the first time while still having a toilet and refrigerator available. It was a lot of fun. Their cabin is out near Oakley but way out in the woods. They have a 2 bedroom cabin with a fire pit, frisbee golf course and a tent area in the woods. We decided that we would tent so we didn't have to worry about the kids waking anyone else up during the night.

Overall camping went pretty well. It was a lot of work though. It was a lot of work getting packed and putting up the tent for just one night. And it was a lot of work because anything that we do with Audrey is.

On Saturday we got up and went boating at Rockport Reservoir. It was COLD water. It took a lot of preparation to get in the water.

Watching Preston....the kids really enjoyed watching him because he did a lot of tricks

Colin and Paul went out on the tube first, but then Audrey and I joined them

All of us on the tube

I was able to make it up on the wakeboard but then was a little lost at what to do once I was there. Apparently everyone was really surprised I made it up and I was pretty funny to watch trying to figure out what I was doing.



Colin had so much fun telling us we had to go pick someone up from the water after they fell.



Colin really liked the boat and kept asking to go on the boat again. The kids were exhausted after the trip. They slept the hour ride home and stayed asleep while we carried them to their beds. They then slept another 1 1/2 hrs and we had to wake Colin up for dinner.

We all had a lot of fun and I know the kids loved it all. However, I'm not sure how soon I'll be ready to take Audrey camping again. She is just not very good with changes to her routine right now and she is definitely awful with strangers(pretty much anyone other than Paul and I).
