Tornado warning, hail, lots of rain, camping and a new pup!

To our credit, who would have thought to check for tornado warnings in Northern VT?? We were half way there before we had a clue...only the torrential rains got us before we were able to detach the camper and park it in the State Park. Then the hail came an hour later and we heard there had been a touch down about 15 miles from where we were,... we packed the kids and dog up and drove away for a bit when the hail hit.
The next day we had plans to check out a 7 week old yellow lab pup. Mike and I had been looking for another dog to keep Phin company. After searching the Internet and sending tons of emails we were given a lead to someone in my hometown (which we were going to be near for Memorial Day weekend :-) Well, the checking out of the pup turned into taking him with us, he was the last of the litter and the owner was preparing for a busy weekend...so off we went.
Yes, this means we camped for four days in pouring rain, crazy thunderstorms and sogginess WITH our two young children, our 1 yr old lab pup and a 7 week old puppy all together in a 26 foot travel trailer...squishy.



















And I do have to add, everyone really did okay. The puppy "OB" (named after our fav vaca place the Outer Banks of NC) was a true puppy champ. Carver got to go fishing and canoeing AND road his bike without training wheels for the FIRST time!! After placing a dehumidifier in our camper for the last 2 days and doing 4 garbage bags of dirty (beyond belief) laundry...we will just chalk this up to the the 2nd worse camping trip ever attempted...
