This past weekend we went on one last vacation before school starts. We went to a state park and stayed in one of their cabins. My parents and my sister's family also came. Unfortunately because of the bad drought we're having here the lake was really low and there wasn't any water left under the fishing piers by the cabins. There was also a burn ban, which meant no camp fires. Because the lake had receded so much, when went swimming in the lake there was about one foot of shallow water and then it dropped off over the kids heads. Luckily the older kids are pretty good swimmers and the younger kids stayed on the shore playing in the sand. Despite all this we still had lots of fun and the kids had a blast getting to spend time with their cousins. On our last night there the lake got some much needed rain; a big storm blew in with lots of thunder and lightening. The next day when we got home, we also got some much needed rain!
