Memorial Day Weekend at Big Lake

We had such a fun weekend up at Big Lake!! Who would have thought that something so green and full of trees existed in Arizona. We thought we were back in Idaho. We left Saturday morning for the 2 1/2 hour drive. We stayed at a paid campground mainly because I wanted a flushing toilet. That's one thing our tent trailer doesn't have, and having one just makes camping so much better. We unpacked and then went strait to the lake to fish. As usual Kaden caught the first one!! (and only one for the day) We then went back to camp for dinner, s'mores and games. It rained on and off all night long, and I was woken up at 5 A.M. by a stupid Crow, and couldn't fall back asleep. We then had breakfast and headed out to try fishing again. We were out at the lake for about 30 minutes when it started pouring and hailing on us. So we loaded up and when back to the trailer. Cris then went back out with Kaden and Kennedy. Meanwhile I stayed in the trailer with Cole and Jocelyn. Jocelyn said she wasn't feeling good and soon started throwing up. The poor girl was so sad that she could eat the fish and that Kaden had caught earlier that morning. We took a drive into Lakeside to get away from the rain, and while there Rich and Allison found us!! We drove over to their cabin and gave Jocelyn a bath and I showered. (which was wonderful!! Thank you Al!) 

Monday morning we fished again and of course Kaden caught the first one and then Kennedy caught one. It rained on us some more so we packed up and headed home and had a BBQ with Crystal and Lance. All in all it was a great weekend although it rained on us alot. It was great to get away with just our family and enjoy one another.
