Camping at Lake Somerville

March 29th, 2008 by Scott

We went camping a couple weeks ago with Jeff and Brenna and Adam and Jamie. This camping trip was much better than our last outing. We had great weather, and there were two trees in our campsite that made for some excellent slacklining. The slacklining was setup all evening long, and we set it up again Saturday morning. Jeana nailed the slackline for the first time ever, that is, she got up on and walked all the way across the slackline with no assistance! We were all so proud. Adam also got across the slackline, and Jamie was really close.

We took a walk down by the lake so the kids could touch the dirty water. Jeana wanted the kids all looking at the water together with their backs facing us. This was as close as we got them to posing.

Jeana is determined to take a picture of the girls sleeping on every campout. On the first attempt, Kate wasn’t quite asleep.

We took our bikes and the Burley so that we could go for a ride on Saturday morning. Jeana showed how tough she is by pulling the girls the whole time up and down some big hills. Note that in this picture Jeana is riding her old friend, the green GT Timberline. Since then, Jeana has craglisted that bike and purchased a new one. Pictures of the new bike will be posted soon.

    So did you camp in the grass? I would go camping if I could set up my tent and have most everything on the grass. It’s the dirt that gets to me.

    We love camping and can’t wait until it’s warm enough to go. I’m glad you’re girls like to go too.

    I’m jealous! Glad you got out to have some fun.
