Don't Say Cherry Hill

This post is so late but I wanted to share it since it was kinda funny.  The last weekend in July I wanted to surprise Jordan with a little over night camping trip.  I invited our friends Russell and Hilarie to come along.  Of course, Jordan found out and spoiled the surprise but he didn't say a word to Russell.  Saturday afternoon Jordan and I headed up to Cherry Hill to get our camp spot all set up before it got to dark.  Once we got up there it was just pouring rain so we waited in the car for it to lighten up.  About 30 minutes later it stopped so we started getting the tent up and once again it started to pour.  It only took up about 2 hours to have everything ready between the storms.  Hilarie and Russell came and met us up at the camp grounds about 9 and we ate dinner and started talking.  Boy time flies when your talking about the good times and sharing stories with each other.  We decided that we needed to head to bed that was around midnight and that's when the fun began!  This was the weekend with the worst thunder and lightening storms.  About 2 in the morning our tent was bright as day light.  I started to panic so I ran to the car to stay safe.  A hour later I headed back to the tent just in time for another storm to roll on in.  We finally decided to take the center wall down and just have it as one big room since we weren't going to get any sleep.  The things people do when they are so stupid tired and scared of the lightening we found that out really fast that night.  After all we ended up getting maybe 4 hours sleep total and we sure have a story to tell our children about that weekend.  

Only a couple days later we thought it would be fun to go back and just do the water park.  Ha ha ha nope the weather turned bad once again so we had a BBQ and the boys made up their own game.  They had some much fun trying to catch anything with the extended arm.  I love this pictures so enjoy. 

We have learned a very important lesson that maybe we weren't meant to go to Cherry Hills at all this summer!!  We will try again next year though don't you worry!!!!
