Camping -2007


The picture to the left is the reason I go camping!
I love the feel of closeness that spending a few days roughing it brings. The girls had a great time this year, and Aislinn was truly sad to leave. What could be better to kids than wind, sand, and sun - late nights, campfires and smores - friends, family and fun!









The monarch butterfly caterpillar Aislinn found. What a find while you are squatting to pee!

The stick bug that decided to spend the afternoon on the hood of the Burns' car. Not the best camouflage fortunately for us!

Enjoying the beach, and above, the Dunes. Even Rory got her share of fresh lake breezes.



More beach experiences. Jeff flying the kids kite - alone. Isn't that what Dad's are for. You get to look up occasionally to see your kite flying high in the sky, but none of the work!




Someone was leaving a great display of sand art in their wake. One of the many sand sculptures that enhanced the beach scenery.












So, overall another great vacation spent with family and friends. What I didn't take pics of was the downpours of rain and the intense thunderclaps that entertained us throughout the week. At least the girls weren't down heartened. "What storm?" would be their response!
