Campout #2 England Reunion

For those of you that have been waiting for a campout blog here it is. It is not the first campout by any means but it is the first one I remembered to take a camera. Taking the camera is one thing, but remembering to use it is another. Unfortunately I missed many of the family that attended. All of our children, spouses and grand children attended the campout and we should have had such great pictures to show you, but alas I didn't think to get the camera out of the trailer. We had a great time and enjoyed the family a lot. Unfortunately most of the family had gone because of cold weather prior to taking pictures. Here we are with three of our Grand children, Jacom, the tall good looking oneMe and Louise, Eliza, and Adelaide.

This picture is of our camping area. What a great site for a campout. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera when the Moose walked into camp. This picture has Teresa our daughter and Melissa who is married to our Son Joseph, and Evan who is married to our Daughter Holly.







Here is a night shot of the teardrop trailer. You can see we were setting up in a wind storm and never did get the tent set up correctly. The trailer was better than we ever imagined it would be and we slept warmer than we expected.
This picture has our daughters Holly and Teresa and our daughter in Law Melissa. It takes a lot of work to feed a large group and they worked their heads off to get it done. Our Older Daughter Mandi didn't get here until late as she was at a training event in Seattle. The Teardrop kitchen really came in handy for cooking, storage, and clean up. Having the little dressing and bathroom tent was a great up grade from our last trip.

Here are three of our six beautiful grand daughters. Adelaide out in fromt just took the broom from Eliza in the back. The Blonde in the middle is Mandi's youngest Micklee.








Some great shots of the camp ground and the Teardrop. We want to thank the Wilkinson's for letting us use this great camp. Louise was doing a little last minute pick up around the camp. It was really nice to have the lights in the kitchen. It gave us all the lighting we needed to work. I'm not sure if we got out the flash lights at all.
