We had our 2nd annual Labor Day campout at Jordan Lake this weekend with friends from Alice's daycare cohort. Unfortunately, due to my continuing health issues, I didn't stay either night and just spent about five hours there during the day on Sunday.
We got a ton of rain both nights in Cary, but miraculously the campground was spared both times. The lake levels were a bit higher than last year, so we didn't have the nice big beach this year either. But the lake is still pretty shallow in this part, so the kids could swim without much danger.
My new phone has an option where it takes these really brief videos instead of just taking a photo. I hadn't turned the feature off and captured a bit of Grumpy Simon to immortalize. This is what happens when he swims all day and doesn't get enough food on the campout.

They had a nice campfire with marshmallows that night.
Simon loves trying to catch fish in his net!
Our friend Chris brought her kayak which was great fun for everyone.

This is why he's so worn out: he spends most of the time in the water launching himself.
After lunch, Alice swung herself to sleep in the hammock.
Meanwhile, after Simon refueled, he played Frisbee with himself. He would just throw it and fetch it over and over again.
The next evening, it was fire time again!
The picture above is from the night, the one below is from the morning. Wait, did Zac let them have marshmallows for breakfast?
I love how Anna is getting yelled at in this picture while Alice poses nonchalantly.
Anyway, everyone came home safe and sound, which is all one can hope for.
