Vacation's all I ever wanted......

Well, we made it to Indian River yesterday at about 1:15. We made terrific time on the freeway. Just over 3 hours to get here.

It is so hot up here! I am used to living pretty close to Lake Michigan and the lake keeps it a bit cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Humidity is usually the only discomfort in the summer living near the lake. Up here though? Hot!Hot!Hot! We set up our campsites as quick as we could and headed for the pool. I think we were in the pool by 2:30. That is a new record for us. We swam and played in the water for about 2 hours. Even me, which I rarely do!

About suppertime we noticed it was starting to cloud up. Being the hard-core campers we are, we decided to check out the weather on our laptops, notebooks and cell phones. Huge storm headed our way! Huge! My Uncle Jeff, who's coming up Friday, called and told us to batten down the hatches. He said this storm would be packing winds of 50 to 60 mph. Ye-Ikes! That is not a cool thing when staying in a camper! So we folded up chairs, cleared the clothes lines and moved everything under cover. The storm was supposed to hit around 9pm so everyone piled into our camper to watch a movie. Family movie night included Bruce Almighty and popcorn! Since everyone was in our camper, I went over to my aunt and uncle's site to hang out with my aunt Melissa. She and my uncle adopted from China so we talked adoption stuff. She's an awesome resource!

So, we were ready! And, the storm never came! It broke up as it hit the lakeshore about 50 miles west. We got a little rain this morning and there is little more rain on the radar but it amounted to nothing. Oh, well. I guess if we hadn't been prepared it would have hit us hard. Murphy's law!

So today I think will be pretty quiet. Once this rain moves out it is supposed to be hot and humid. It will probably be a beach or pool day or maybe a read in the shade day.
