Several months back Judd's Uncle Jerry died. He did not want to have a regular funeral and requested that all the relatives get together and go camping over Memorial Day. So we did.
Cliff, Judd's dad, came from Texas. His aunts Sue and Lynne came as well as Sue's kids (also Jerry's) Judy, Scooter and CJ. Plus us and Clay and his family.
We went to a place called Lake Camanche near Stockton.
There was plenty of places to throw rocks.
and play video games
Uncle Clay took us out on the boat. Ronan was pretty stoked at first
Getting some gas
They were all liking the float at first
Until they all got a face full of water once the boat got up to speed. There was much shrieking and I'm sure if they had the vocabulary much cursing.
Logan was having a ball jumping off the boat
Thats me out there. We were in a non water sport area so the kids could swim so I hopped out on the float to stretch out on the floatie. We were not anchored and were drifting into the shallows so we had to move. The kids thought it would be hilarious if Uncle Clay went fast and sprayed me. However, Uncle Clay gave it a wee bit too much gas and snapped the tow rope. Ronan lost his mind. He thought for sure I was being left behind. He was NOT happy.

Early morning visitors
Our set up. Disappointed to find we had a leak and we have some recaulking to do and some mildew removal. But we did use our shower for the first time and it works pretty good, although it is extremely small.
Lots of these dudes wandering around
Each morning Judd and I would work on this. I managed to finish it on the final day.

Logan spent the entire weekend in swim clothes and didn't sleep much.

Saturday night we watched a memorial pictorial. Lynne made it and she did an awesome job. She did it instead of randomly, in order and in family order. Started with the great grandparents, then the grandparents, then parents and then each sibling. Very neat.
Everyone got along and had a great time. Half of the time I had no idea where my kids were. They would randomly go from camp to camp. We had 4 campsites on one side and 2 on the other so they were all going back and forth and around and around all day.
