Buttered Watermelon
Thursday, July 20th. What a perfect day for buttering a watermelon, tossing it into the lake, and watching campers in canoes battle to obtain it! We love wild mornings at the lake. The morning activity at the lake tired out the kids, so we hung around camp in the afternoon, relaxed, and played games! The…
