We are back from Memorial Day camping at Potato Creek. This was the hottest camping weekend ever, and it's not even June. Seriously, it must have been over 90 all weekend; usually it's at least chilly in the evenings and mornings. We were camping with the usual cast of characters from our church group. For the most part, it was too hot to do most anything outside except sit in the shade...but I did get a run in on Saturday morning. And, we spent a lot of time at the beach, which is usually way too cold by Memorial Day, but this year, we all swam quite a bit, especially the kids. We were at the beach each day. Also, I took the kids to a bat exhibition. The DNR at the park takes a group of people at dusk to a large barn on the property that is colonized by bats, and we all get to see some bat activity. Now that we're back, I think Beth and I are going to think hard about getting a camper with A/C. But going back a week or so...the most interesting thing about prepping for the campout was getting the camper out for the first time after winter and finding a hamburger patty in the camper fridge. Yuck does not even begin to describe it. It literally smelled like a turd. The good thing was it was inside a plastic ziploc bag so it was not as bad as it could have been, but I used a LOT of detergent and Lysol to clean out the fridge so the whole camper didn't smell like it.
