Birch Creek

Every year for Memorial Day Weekend my family goes up to Birch Creek camping. This year we got to go up on Thursday, instead of Friday. My parents had gone up on Wednesday to get a spot for everyone. When we got up there Thursday afternoon it was just my parents, us, and my parent's friends Ron and Marsha. We had just a quiet evening after getting everything set up. We ate dinner, visited, and played some games before going to bed. Friday at about 12:00ish my two brother's that were coming up and their families made it. It was such a nice day, the kids (and dogs) played in the creek most of the day, and I just enjoyed the sunshine, while Jason took a nap. Then on Saturday my aunt, uncle, cousin, and her kids came up for the day. We did some more of the same stuff, visiting in the warm sunshine, and Jason, Brandon, Angie, Megan, and Dave (my brother, his wife, daughter, and her husband) went to see if they could make it to Pass Lake. They had a fun ride even though Jason is the only one who actually made it the whole way to the lake. Sunday we drove to Niclolia, an old mining town. We explored a little and ate lunch up there. My brother Jaden had to ride, standing up in the back of our truck on the way up and down because he hurt his back. They actually ended up leaving Sunday afternoon after we got back. Sunday was pretty cloudy and windy all day so when we got back we spent a lot of time visiting in trailers. There was actually a wreck about a mile down from where we were camped. A car rolled over into the camp ground, and they were using the jaws of life to extract the person(s) and even brought in the life flight helicopter. Then Monday morning Jason got up early to go for one last ride before we left. He took the camera to take some pictures of the view. Then we just ate breakfast and packed up camp. When we got home we unpacked some, started laundry, SHOWERED, and then went to Jason's parents house for a BBQ. We ate way too much and visited and then came home to finish laundry and give the dogs a much needed bath. All in all it was a very fun weekend, and I am worn out but it is time that I should go so I can finish laundry, unpacking, and cleaning out Jason's very dirty truck!
