Labor Day Camping in Ion.

We were so happy to be able to go camping one last time this summer. We were feeling like we shouldn't go and needed to stay home and work on the rental property, but the Osmun's invited us to tag along with them for the weekend and we just couldn't say No.  We were headed up the Pend Orielle River to Ion, there is a quaint, quiet campground up there called Edgewater.  They went up a day before us and scouted out the spot and got all settled and we came up the following evening. I could get use to that set up any day!  Once we arrived we set up camp and had dinner and did all the regular camping stuff, including praying for no rain-worked. The next day we all headed down to the river and went boating all day. It was cloudy and overcast, which made for chilly water sports, but that didn't stop us. We all got in some fun stuff. Conor got up on the wake board, I got in a few good ski runs, Kevin wake boarded and surfed and plenty of tubing was had.  We learned a few new tricks on the best way to surf behind our boar, and we found this fun rope swing that most of us took a swing on.  After a fun day on the water, it was back to the campsite, for some delicious dinner and campfire fun. I forgot my real camera so all these shots are from my phone.  Summer please don't leave!!!!!

-So, So, beautiful.  I am grateful to live somewhere that I can enjoy views like this and go camping and boating and biking relatively close to home and enjoy all the beauties of nature Heavenly Father provided for me.  Feeling so very blessed.
