Camping

I ended up taking about 200 pictures on our camping trip and just spent the last half hour trying to choose which one's I'd make you all look at...they're all on flickr right now so when ever you have some spare moments during this oh-so-quickly-ending summer, please, take a look-see.
Here are a few I saved for the blog:We were lucky enough to spend a day at the beach. If you look in the distance you'll notice that the air wasn't super clear. Every year in Eastern Washington they struggle with forest fires. They were fighting to stop one around the lake and we were experiencing the smoke from it all day and into the night.
Ann really was so prepared. She's been camping with her family for as long as she can remember. We had the best experience because she had everything you could imagine you might need.
At one point on the first day Dave tried to open a bottle of beer (he was doing it the right way...using a bottle opener) but some how the bottle top broke and took a huge chunk of skin from his hand (see flickr pics for more details). This is Ann and Dave filtering the beer SO HE COULD DRINK IT ANYWAY!!!!!!
August was very helpful while Trey put the tent together. Our friends from August's school let us use their tent. It was perfect. We all fit nicely and it went up and came down with no problems at all...Thank you John and Jill!
Hazel and Trey rode the Go-Carts in town. Trey had a blast...Hazel...not so much. Yup, that's a mountain in the background and yup it's a bit hazy due to the forest fires.
So enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think of them.

that camping trip looks like so much fun! still, seeing as swallowing glass is one of my two death fears (the other being tripping and accidentally stabbing myself with a knife) there is *no way* i would drink that beer. scary!
