That night I tossed and turned some, not too bad once Dan stopped snoring.
Once I finally woke up, I had some coffee(yay!). It warmed me up nice. It was actually fairly cold that morning so I also put on the sweatshirt I brought. We Had Eggs, Toast and Bacon for Breakfast.

After Breakfast, some of us walked down to the Ashley Inn to see what it looked like.

It was really pretty. I thought so anyways. :D(didn’t get a lot of pics of it). Mom really liked it there, she played the piano for them.

They really liked Mom playing the piano. They told her the last time she went there(for a retreat), she could come and play anytime she wanted!

We came back from the Ashley Inn, and we walked down to the beach that’s at the resort, then I came back and put some shorts on so I could go Kayaking. I went out there, and James was Canoeing so he wanted to know if I’d like to get in to his canoe instead of just Kayak around. So, We both went ashore and I hopped in to his with a paddle.

After Canoeing around some, we played some Volleyball. Then Grandpa and Mary went to town to see about renting a Ski-doo/Water-ski. Rachel and Caleb went to town earlier as well, and got a package of waterballoons to play “Towel Volleyball”. We started playing that(after getting some towels), but then it was time for people to leave to go watch the video the rental place wanted people to watch before riding their equiptment.

So, I went back to camp, packed up some food and took a few notes on the trip. After I got done with that, we headed for Lake Cascade. Once we got there(only a couple minutes away), nobody from our group was there, So what do you think we did? We waited!

Finally after a few minutes, they arrived, and so did the delivery guy with the Ski-doo! It was pretty fun! They said that only licensed drivers could drive by themselves, but none-licensed could drive if a driver rode behind them, and keps the little wrist strap on! So, That was pretty cool! I drove like 4 times. The last time I drove, it was with Caleb behind me, and we went around and made big waves, then hit em and jumped! That was cool.

We aired up a rubber raft to float around on, but I think the ski-doo was the main atraction. At first we didn’t have paddles for the thing, but somebody got em when they went and got Grandma from camp(she stayed behind at first). Isaac got thrown off the ski-doo a couple times. That scared Mom a lot! I think the second time he did it on purpose though.

Here’s all the pics of that….

After doing that, we went back to camp(rental guy came and picked up the ski-doo too - We told him that somebody fell off a couple of times… He said “That’s the best part isn’t it?”). Then we Played some volleyball again, and more “Towel Volleyball”. Then we had dinner(Barbecue). After dinner, Most of the people went home.

Rebecca didn’t get to be there for the day because she had to work that day. Once everybody that was going home had departed, all that was left was me, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Dan. Big group compared to what we had!!

After everybody left, it was kinda breezy and the rain was sprinkling some, but Me and Dan decided to walk down to the river. It was one of those moments where you think “Everybody’s gone now…. Wonder how we’ll have fun now!”. After just walking around some, we came back to camp, and it started raining so we packed a bunch of stuff back up so it wouldn’t get wet. Then I brought the two decks of cards I brought, in to the fifth-wheel so that we could play cards later.

I went out to my tent after that, and took some notes on the trip. After I finished that, we played golf(card game) in the fifth wheel. Then Grandma and Grandpa went to bed, and Uncle Dan and I just played solitaire for a little while. Then we both went to bed. He snored that night too woke me up in the middle of the night!

And thus ends day two!
