August 18, 2012

We decided to take a shot at camping at Prairie Island. It was a boys camping weekend but they let me hang out with them during the day. On Saturday afternoon, the weekend took a bit of an unexpected turn. I was backing the boat trailer into the river but the truck wouldn't move, then the truck wouldn't stop. Then there was smoke and lots of brake fluid squirting out everywhere. The rear brake caliper rusted off. Bummer.


Thankfully, in a previous life, Corey was an auto mechanic so he spent the rest of the day shopping for auto parts and fixing the truck.


Cameron was very sad at first.



But when life gives you a shoreline you should look for shells. So he did.



It ended up being a great afternoon of hanging out on the docks along the river front.
