Labor Day Weekend 2010

I know I am a little behind, but here is our fun labor day weekend. We were able to go to my parents house in Monticello, and go camping for the weekend. We arrived late on thursday night and stayed at my parents house. In the morning we helped around the house, and then went and set up our camp on my parents land. It is about 20 mins. from their house. When we arrived at the land we began to set up our trailor and the campsite. This should have only taken us an hour maybe, but with a few difficulties it took us a few hours. Alan truck got stuck in the sand, we finally got out, and then we were able to set up. My brother finally arrived, and set up his tent, and brought his horses. Then my sister arrived with her family and we were all ready to camp. The next morning my sister and her family showed up and set up their camp. Then we all went and cut down trees for my parents and grandparents for the winter. We cut down five trees, and split 3 of them. It was a lot of work! Then when we got back to camp we played around on the horses and the quads. The next morning was sunday and my parents went to church and my brother and his wife went to church and the rest of us kinda just sat around and talked. It was nice to relax on sunday! On monday morning we woke up and began to take down our stuff, when all of a sudden we notice my brother and my brother-in-law rushing to get a towel. We all gathered around because we didn't know what was happening. Well turns our my brother in law smashed his finger pretty bad and it was just hanging there by a little bit of skin. My sister rushed him to the emergency room. The rest of us continued to clean up and waited for them to get back. When they got back, he had stitches and they were able to save the tip of his finger. That was an exciting morning.

There were many more things that happened! It seemed as though almost everyone got hurt in some way or another :) And my brother was always there when they got hurt....interesting!
