This weekend we "spontaneously" decided to go camping at Ol' MacDonald Campground. Well a little last minute. Johnnie has wanted to try this campground out for awhile. I was just not so ready for this weekend. We left Friday afternoon and drove about 2 hours north. Because it was the long weekend we were unable to get a regular spot therefore we were in the overflow area. Pretty much just an open field with picnic tables and fire pits. We got there, set up and headed out for some grub. Arriving there wasn't too bad. Helena immediately made friends with our neighbors and they played tag most of the night. Johnnie did the cooking on his gourmet cooking burner :) Hot Dogs. 
Notice the clouds behind Johnnie's head.... Yeah the calm before the storm. We should have clued in right then. After supper we then headed off to bed. I was welcomed by a nice big juicy spider on my bed. I was thrilled. Getting to sleep was no problem for all of us as we had a long day and we were pretty beat. It wasn't until 1am in the morning the fun began. I woke up to loud thunder and rain pouring down on my head (the fly broke loose) Isabelle and I had to do a quick maneuver to avoid being soaked. I can't remember the last time being so scared. It rained so hard and it sounded like the thunder was going to hit us. I thought we were going to be ripped from our tent with some horrific tornado. (The stuff that goes through your head when you are scared) I didn't get much sleep after that. Morning finally arrived and the sun peaked out long enough for breakfast and then it started to rain again. We were out of there in less than an hour. A toddler and a baby in a tent all day.....might be a little insane.
