Camping with Neighbors

The weekend after our trip, we went camping for one night with 3 other families from our ward. It was fun, but it's way too much work to camp for just one night. I think, if you are going to go to all the trouble of packing up everything you own plus lots of food and driving up into the mountains, at least stay for 2 or 3 nights. Just to make it worth it and so you can have some relax time. Overall it turned out fun and the kids had a blast. Jeremy and Nathan went fishing a couple of times and caught a few fish. Athena and Samantha played with their friend, Adrianna, for most of the time. I spent most of my time chasing Alexandra and keeping her away from the water, or the fire, or from the hillside, or whatever else she wasn't supposed to get into or she would get hurt.

We didn't take our camera out much, so the only pictures we got were the morning after camping when we were at the lake. I'm sitting here playing games with Jeremy and a couple of our friends.
This is Mike. He is one of our good friends that we hang out with.

Nathan was itching to get out on the canoe and go for a ride. Our VERY nice neighbor was so kind and he took Nathan out on the canoe all by himself and let Nathan paddle to his heart's delight. That just made his day!

Here is Nathan coming in for a landing.

I hope we have the chance to do this again with our neighbors and hopefully we will extend the stay a little.
