good times at the lake!

     Just spent 3 days at the lake with my family and with my parents.  We went to pick up Anthany after his week with Grandma and Grandpa.  It didn't start off so great, the lights on the trailer wouldn't work and when we go there both campsites we had reserved still had other people in them.  Check out was noon and when we showed up around 3:30 the campers from the day before were still sitting around drinking and enjoying themselves.  We weren't very impressed, we just ended up parking in an open site and setting up there.  I think the sites we picked were bigger and nicer then the ones we were supposed to get anyway. 
     The lake itself was amazing!  shallow for quite a ways out and a dock that the kids could jump off, reeds to explore and find and catch frogs in and amazing fine sand.  Brian and I and the boys had alot of fun.  Even Grandma and grandpa enjoyed it.  I took alot of pictures and really enjoyed watching the boys play.  Brian took them walking into the reeds a few times exploring and finding all kinds of things.  The prize was the frog that Anthany caught!  He was so proud and told me all about how he caught it by the leg then grabbed it and put it into a bucket.  Alex was walking along the beach and tell people they had a frog, unfortunatly no one knew what he was saying he just sounded excited.
     I think the next coolest thing may have been the massive marshmallows that grandma brought to roast and make smores with.  They were about the size of three normal marshmallows put together and got smushed out the edges really far when you put it between two graham waffers.
     One thing for me that doubled as funny as well as gross was Alex.  He is almost potty trained and I haven't had to change very many poopy diapers in the last 3 months and I guess I still don't BUT... we were at the camp site(good thing we weren't at the lake) and alex had his swimming shorts on with no liner in them.  He is playing with the other boys and having fun then just as I hear him saying "poo" I also see something sticking out funny in the back of his shorts and its moving.  Pretty soon I see this poo comming out the bottom of his shorts and landing on the ground.  Couldn't help but laugh but I couldn't let him see me laughing.
     Camping was alot of fun and the lake was great but the facilities werent that great, actually they sucked.  Brian went to take a shower one of the days and one wasn't working and the other stole his quarters and they were dirty and cold and well I just decided not to shower.  Lol so here I am sitting and typing this blog smelling like I need a shower cause I havent had one since Sunday morning.  I am going to  enjoy my hot shower tonight.  Brian just came over looking at me funny and squished a little bug on my forhead, says I better have a shower sometime soon cause not even them mosquitos wil come near me, they are all going after him.  Guess it's his one fault cause he had a nice bath after the boys did tonight while I was doing laundry and dishes and putting things away and putting the kids to bed and putting  away supper and all the other things that moms have to do.  I will get around to that shower eventually, it isn't really that bad is it??
      I think maybe I will end here for tonight and go have that shower.  All this talk about bugs and mosquitoes is making me itchy.
     One more thing.  I have been reading this book about a woman and her husband passed away and she and her friends who are all widows are starting wish lists.  Things they want to do or have.  they think that 20 wishes is the perfect number,  not to few but not to many.  I know I am not a widow and never would wish to be but I have been thinking about a wish list.  What things would I wish to do or have before I die?  What is important enough to me to go on my list of 20 wishes?  I will think about it and I will start a list and see where it takes me.  What would you wish for?  What would be important enough to you to put oln you list of 20 wishes?
