Stormy, Hot, and Humid

We survived! We are back from camping and fishing at West Bend! But, as luck would have it, a huge storm went through our campground at 1:30 Saturday morning and lasted about an hour. Talk about waking up to your tent coming down on you, WOW! We hurried and got the girls under the picnic table since they were sleeping in their kennels, and then all of us hopped into our vehicles! After a lot of rain, wind, and lightning, we finally got to sleep around 2:30. We ratchet-strapped our tent to two trees to keep from flying away, and NOW guess what we are in the market for...a pop up camper! :) After surviving more storms camping than an average person should, Nathan finally saw it my way, and gave in to shopping for an older pop up! :) Hopefully this fall we'll come across a good deal on one. The fishing was alright. I know that Vostads had a fun time, and so did we, so that's all that counts! We ended up with 10 or 11 keepers, and plenty of sunburns! We got a good start home on Sunday, stopped in Pierre to visit Nathan's family, got a bite to eat, and ended up home by 5:30 that afternoon. Monday morning was an early riser though, and reality set back in that we both had to work, and our lawn that takes 6-7 hrs to push mow, needed mowing and trimming! SO, we are slowly getting our yard back into shape this week too! The weather has been really hot and humid. Lots of thunderstorms in the Southern Hills, and lots of humidity everywhere! My Mom and Dad are both in Austin, TX right now, visiting family, and I'm praying that they are safe and sound from Hurricane Dolly that is suppose to be hitting TX today!
Nathan is busy teaching his "HuntSafe" class 3 nights this week from 5:30-8:30. Around 10 kids showed up, and will be learning how to hunt safe so they can get out there this fall with their parents. The girls are loving swimming right now, since it's so hot we run them on the four wheeler and take them swimming everyday. They def look forward to us coming home! I guess the rest of the week is very busy with me cleaning and Nathan working. This weekend is Reva Turtle Races, so Nathan will be playing softball on Saturday morning, which should be interesting! Hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend, and enjoying the news from the NW corner of SoDak!
