- while playing playdoh we lost power. uncle jake came home and started a fire in the wood stove. if you've never been warmed by a wood stove....you get warmed to the bone.
- went down to main camp. uncle jake met us there where isaiah and justin got to raid the camp store. sharks, lollipops and some paraphernalia.
- played hard all morning in the afternoon with tents, t.p.'s and tunnels.
- decided to go on another exploration. walked up the logging road and watched numerous dump trucks dump loads of rocks to build a road. then watched the bulldozer flatten each load. on one side we saw the road being built on the other side of us were all the logging machines moving logs and debris.
- walked down to the lake where we threw rocks, sticks and waded as far as we could without the water covering the boots.
- matt brought a fishing pole and the boys got to try to fish. on justin's second cast he caught his first fish. matt cast but justin reeled it in himself. i think i took 27 pictures. it was pretty fun!
- then we walked up to the shop where isaiah and justin drove the backhoe with uncle jake. picking up trees and moving debris. matt then got in a drove the backhoe...a daddy's dream come true.
- as if that wasn't enough after dinner we headed to the next door neighbors where he had converted his attic into a train station. the most elaborate train set i have ever seen. steam, electric, big, small.... there was even a whistle that they boys got to pull to make a train whistle each time an engine started up.
i'm not sure who was more wiped out, the adults or the boys. it's safe to say that uncle jake and the other's at tadmor went above and beyond to give us a great week. we kept asking justin and isaiah what their favorite thing was and they kept listing each thing. how could you pick just one thing?
