To celebrate the end of our summer, we headed camping at the southern tip of Couer d'Alene Lake. We found a great camping spot about 50 yards up off the banks of the lake. We unloaded in the dark but successfully set up our camp and enjoyed the summer night. By nine o'clock the next morning my friend Brittany and I had gone on a run on a trail along the lake, made breakfast, ate breakfast with the boys and made down to the lake with our floaties. The day could not have been more perfect. We had a great little shoreline where the boys brought down our cooler with snacks and diet coke. Brittany and I never left our floaties...literally we floated around from 9 until 3 when thunder clouds covered the sun. We enjoyed watching the guys swim around and allowed them to pull us along exploring the lake. When thunder heads covered the sun we got nervous about our camp and headed to pack up. With lightning flashing around us we stowed all of our stuff in record time! Of course by the time we were safely in the truck, the storm had passed and the sun was shining. What to do? Head back down to our dock! We unloaded the grill and coolers and set up a great lunch. It was the perfect end to our Summer and now we are ready for school.
