Monday the 1st of July, we drove up to Priest Lake, which was about a 2 1/2 hour drive from our cabin. Our intent was to find the natural rock water slide that's up there. We found out by a park worker that the water is too high and dangerous for little kids right now, plus you have to hike a couple of miles in to get to it. We were bummed but decided to stay at that beach front site, which also had some people camping. There were some clouds starting to roll in and we were worried it was going to rain on us but because we traveled so far to get here, we decided to stick it out as long as possible. Stillman brought a canopy he bought when we went to Costco and put it over a picnic table. We quickly made sandwiches and ate our lunch. Then we headed nearby to the beach. By the time we got over there, all of the other people there left their canopies on the beach and went back to their campsites. We braved the cooler weather and some people braved the cold water. We lasted maybe half an hour or 45 minutes before it started to rain and there was thunder and lightning. The rain started out light but then it turned to downpour. So, we didn't stay long but it was an adventure.

| I had fun taking pictures of the rocks in the moving water. |

| Jack sat on the dock thinking about jumping in. |

| Fun in the sand! |
 |
| The clouds were pretty and it was cool to see a split in the light. It's like day and night. |

| Jack and Jayden finally jumped in together. |
We packed up quickly and headed back south to Stillman's RV campsite. It was a little scary but fun driving in the pouring rain. But there were times we drove out of the storm and it was beautiful.

Some of the kids and the men did a little swimming at the pool at the RV campground. I'd never heard of an RV campground having a swimming pool before, so that was pretty cool. Michelle and I just watched.
After swimming, we decided to head back to our cabin so we could cook up a quick dinner of pesto tortellini. Then we watched some movies and I worked on my puzzle. We introduced the kids to "Far and Away". We watched another one after that, but I can't remember what we watched. When you're on vacation you stay up later than you normally would and do so many things that you can't remember it all.
