Freezing (I mean camping) on Kolob

   The last hurrah before school started back up was going to camping with Dawn, Bruce and Talon somewhere cooler than here.  The spot Kolob.  It was definitely cooler.  But we planned on that.  With mounds of sleeping bags blankets and coats we were set. 
    Dawn and Bruce had went up early and picked out a camp sight.  It was perfect.  Close to the lake and close, but not to close, to the restrooms.  We arrived late.  Setting up the tent in the dark was a cinch with Bruce's headlights and the expertise of two trained professionals.  We opted for the rain fly because last time we didn't it rained.  I am glad we did because it rained every night.  We have a good tent.  It didn't leak.  With that comforting thought it was fun to lay there in our warm cozy beds and listen to the rain and thunder.  Monte, Blanca and kids came the next day. 
     Between rain storms the kids would take out the boat.  Talon and Mason rowed out to the Island.  Monte, Mason and Talon were the only ones to get caught on the lake in the rain.  Monte took over rowing and was rowing for all his might. 

      Campfire all day, guns to shot, horse shoes to play and sticks to carve, what else was needed.  It was so nice to relax and do nothing.
