Camping in July in this region is usually hot and dry and involves a lot of swimming. But this year at our church family camp it rained almost the entire time. It made it extremely difficult as a parent. The kids had fun but man...I am beat. I had to sleep in the tent because the almost new tent had water leaks. The rain and cold sent the kids into the grandparents cabin and the girls into the grandparents sleeper van. Two nights in a tent in pounding rain and a bed surrounded with puddles was a memory in deed.
