I
don't know where to start with this trip but here it goes... we rented a boat with my sister in law
Jessica and her husband
David and our neighbors
Nate and
Joyce. Russell Nate and
Joyce left and picked up the boat around five. Jessica
David and I stayed behind and prepared tinfoil dinners and we were going to just meet them at the lake before it got dark. At the time we were waiting for my mother in law to get home so we could drop off
Cadyn my cute nephew off at her house to spend the night. As time past it got darker and darker it
wasn't till about 8:30pm till we were able to head towards lake mead. We get there about 9:30pm and there are cops everywhere checking
everyones boat and my lovely husband is talking with the cops about our
unequipped boat that we rented. So after unpacking all of our gear and realizing one of us had to drive back into town and go to
walmart for a light that shine 360 degrees all the way around so people can see you on the lake. Our
wonderful brother in law
David volunteers. So were waiting for about two hours until he finally gets back in between that two hours of
boredum on the dock my husband decides to pee off of the side of the dock and in the darkness a cop wearing all black yells and says "you in the shorts meet me at the end of the dock NOW!!!" so
Russell head down and is talking with one cop while the one who catches him comes over to see if we have any alcohol in our coolers and i said no sir we
don't drink, but he is my husband and the cops says "well i can arrest your husband and take him to jail and register him as a sex
offender from exposing his private parts in public!!!!" i said oh my goodness
ok and the officer says ill be back. goes over to finish the
conversation with
Russell but thank fully because there were no kids around they
didn't arrest him! SCARE #1 David finally arrives back from
walmart getting the light that we needed and were off to find a camping spot! after 10 min we find 3 random people walking along sandy beach a little tipsy but kind enough to help us ashore. We all unpack our sleeping gear get out our chairs and start a fire to cook our
wonderful tinfoil dinners. While waiting for our dinner its about 1am and we are all starving checking the food once not cooked wanting to check it twice BURNT TO CRISPY TINFOIL!!! UPSET #2 So we had no dinner but yummy
smores! We all get ready for bed and me and
Russell sleep at the front of the boat
Jessica and
David are sleeping in the back of the boat on the floor and
Nate and
Joyce slept on the sand! We head out first thing that morning and realize we have no flag to hold once someone is down so we had a part of a towel that was orange to hold up. No one new how to drive the boat except Russell so when
Russell went it was the scariest thing for me. we head back to camp to eat breakfast.
David wanted to do scones so he brought his
dutch oven and some oil and started heating that. While we were making scone the fire got so hot the it caught on fire and started producing big Black smoke and everyone got only two
lil scones each. we had to sand out the fire so much it ruined the only pan we had for our eggs and bacon! so we had a small breakfast! UPSET #3 positively thinking we just headed out and had fun on the water! Last but not least we pack everything up about to load the boat and the wire snaps the one that holds the boat onto the
trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my smart husband thankfully had a ratchet strap to hold it tight enough to safely drive back to the renters!!!!!! UPSET #4 One i will never go camping at the lake again! Two we just need to buy our own boat and Three this is a trip that i will never forget!!!!!
This is

couldn't get out!
