campbell camp

This year we finally went camping!  We chose Greenbriar Lake and it was wonderful.  It rained the first day and part of the second day, but it was not bad at all.  The kids wore rain boots the whole weekend even though it wasn't necessary.  We discovered that the zipper to our tent was broken, so we shoved our air mattress into the back of our Yukon and the 5 of us spent the night in there the first night.  It was an experience.  We got a new tent for the second night and that was much better!  We enjoyed spending time together, boating, hiking, cooking, and playing games.  We can't wait to do it again in a couple of weeks with the ward. 
Ryan was content just walking along the border of our campsite
I am so glad that we never saw the snake that went along with this pile of skin.
Dallan had fun rowing us around the lake.  We saw a bunch of jellyfish and even caught one.  I held it, but I think that we killed it by catching it.  oops.
Leah has a net on her head.  Ryan and Leah loved pretending that they were "jellyfishing".
Ryan had to be carried because he loved to wander off and run from us.

Beautiful scenery! When I was just barely pregnant with Jonas, Mack and I went on the family camp out and it was so exhausting chasing him around all day every day (Gregg couldn't come). The first night back in my own bed, I slept 12 hours straight. It was nice. I love camping, but Gregg's not really a fan.
