We went camping this past weekend with Doug’s family at Lake Cheney just outside of Wichita, Ks. We got to see Mom & Nancy; Ed & Laura; Ed’s Boys Keegan & Riley; Laura’s Daughter & Grandson, Kelsey & Austin; and Laura’s youngest son Jeremiah & his girlfriend Karina. It was a great time and of course as always, wish it was longer!
We took Friday off of work, packed the truck and got on the road a little after 10:00am. We drove straight to the Lake and instead of tent camping, we actually got one of the cabins that is in the park. We got this thanks to Ed. He won it in some sort of drawing and he passed it along to us. THANK YOU Ed – It was nice, as we did not have to pitch a tent, had our own bathroom and shower (even though it was maybe 3x8, for the both the toilette and the shower. You sit on the toilette and your knees are almost touching the shower door.) There was full size bed and a set of bunk beds. Then since there were five of us, we took one air mattress, which was queen size and it took up the rest of the floor space in the cabin. We also had a dorm size fridge, a microwave and a coffee pot. So overall, it made camping a tad bit easier!
We then did most of our cooking at the After Deck, which is a LARGE cabin which is part of the Ninnescah Sailing Association which Ed & Laura are members of. This was nice, as we did not have to bring the cooking utensils, as it has a full kitchen.
We did not do much Friday after we got there, we lounged around and chatted. Saturday, we played in the water, went sailing, and then back to the beach. Sunday we packed up, played in the water some more, then headed home.
Did I mention that the camping cabin we stayed in was a two mile trek one way to the Ninnescah Sailing Assoc. Cabin that we cooked at?? I didn't?!, Well it was, and that was one great workout.... The boys and I rode 4 miles on Friday, 8 miles on Saturday and 2 miles more on Sunday.... Actually I did not mind the ride that much, as it balanced out my bad eating choices, you know the Pringles and peanut butter stuffed pretzels that we had for lunch on Saturday, and the beverage choices..... So instead of having a HUGE scare on the bathroom scale after the trip it was a very small one! And of course at this point, it is already off and back to where I was!
Now to the best part – The pictures!
