Morice Camping 2008

June 30, 2008

Today mom got to cook.

We started out with scrambled eggs and sausage and we finally have proof that mom is actually on this trip!
Then we thought we’d check out the pool since it finally made it up to 80 degrees (it’s been nice, but too cool for swimming so far). Boy we’re we excited about what we found! There were two pools – a deep one for jumping and diving and a baby pool with zero depth,

a slide

and two water fountains.



That became our activity for the entire rest of the day. We did go back to camp for Selah to nap, but when she woke up, we were back out again!

After dinner we aquired a craving for ice cream and went on a search for a local ice cream shop. We went over to the nearest town and find such a sad scene. The town rested right on the Fox River and had suffered some bad effects from the flooding. Houses had sand bags right at their doorstep,

the parking lot was covered with grim from the receeded water that covered it just days ago

and several streets were still closed. Even the streets we were driving on had water right up to the pavement.



We did find the cutest ice cream shop and we were anxious to patronize them.

We hoped our four ice cream cones would help lift some of the financial strain I’m sure the whole town is expriencing.
Then we headed home to pass out. We were so exhausted I didn’t hear Mr. Frog at all! I guess that’s the trick! We taught Cody Rummy and played cards for 4 hands until Cody said, “mom, can we please stop. I really want to go to bed.” Yes, he was that tired!
