Memorial Day Camping Trip

We had a great time this weekend with friends and family camping at Sparrow Hawk Camp on the Illinois River in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.  The surroundings were beautiful!  It was nice to hang out and relax.  We always have fun and have quite a large group that goes.  Joe, I, and the boys, Joe's brother Jeff, his wife Stacy, son Brandon, son Jeremy and his fiance, Brittany, Joe's mom, Joe's sister Maggie, her husband Rob, and their kiddos Lola and Nate, my cousin Travis, his wife, Julie, and their girls, Haley and Hannah.  We were joined by other members throughout the weekend that didn't spend the night.  Travis's mom and dad, (my uncle and aunt) Linda and Roy, and my MomMom (my dad's mom), my parents, Joe's dad, and Joe's sister, Angie, our friends, Gena and Mikel Shepherd and their 3 kiddos, Austin, Aiden, and Abby.  We were set to come home today, but Jeff was looking at radar last night and it appeared that we would get pummeled with storms if we stayed, so about 8:15, we decided to tear down camp and head home.  It took us about 2 hours to get everything loaded up and out of there.  We are exhausted today, but have made a little progress in getting everything put back in its place.  All but Julie, Hannah, and I floated the Illinois on Saturday.  They had a blast.  They also enjoyed the log roll in the park and the water slides up the highway.
