Last weekend we went camping at Hickory Creek on Lake Lewisville. We were glad to have the pop up to keep us in some air conditioning and keep us from sleeping on the ground.
But unfortunately, we drove all the way to the campground with the crank still in the back of the camper. So when we arrived at our campsite and got ready to pop up the camper we discovered that we had no way of doing so. Crap!
There was nothing to do but go back home. We got on the Internet and found a place that sells the cranks! Phew! Thank goodness we were able to buy one that fit for only $14. So we headed back to the campground with the utility trailer loaded with bikes and fishing gear and chairs and the grill and coolers and anything else we thought we couldn't live without.
Once we got set up we had a great time. Our campsite was right next to the bathroom which was very convenient. We went on a walking trail, tried fishing (no luck), rode bikes and swam in the lake. They even rode bikes in the lake! It was very windy and there were a lot of waves making very difficult to stay upright on a bike. But it sure was fun trying. (My camera ran out of batteries so I didn't get any pics of the bike riding in the lake.)
The first night we were there, there was a fireworks show on the other side of the lake. We sat outside and enjoyed the show.
The next day, Ray had to leave to go to a minicamp for the upcoming flag football season. I stayed at the campsite with the kids. Ray came back with a surprise! He brought two of the boys who live on our street back with him. Marcus and Bruce are our new friends. They are visiting their mom for the summer. They came to spend the night with us at the campground. Nehemiah is in the red shirt. Bruce is holding the meat up front. And Marcus is dancing while turning the meat over on the grill.
