A-Camping We Went

We went camping a few weekends ago with some friends I grew up with and their families. Specifically, it was Chris & Teresa and Evan & Holly. It was great fun; definitely a repeatable experience. But it was a while ago and I took a million pictures, so I am not going to write much.
This is the only group shot I got:

Dane protecting our tent:


Evan feeding Kyle:

Proof that I was actually there:

Joel stoking the fire in the ridiculously huge, major-child-hazard fire pit:

Dane and Joel "packing up the tent":

Hey, where did Dane go??


Then we went rock climbing, which I had never done before.

Evan:

Joel:



And he made it to the top!

I got a couple of nice butt shots of Joel, but I will just keep those for myself.
Then I tried my hand at it. I fell off in like the first two seconds but then did pretty well after that. I will credit my years of experience as a tree climber.



Joel got a couple of butt shots of me, but those were not so nice.
Then Teresa showed us her mad skills:

And Holly had a turn:

Then Joel belayed while Chris took a turn:


Try not to confuse Joel with Quasimodo ringing the church bell.
The kids all had their various ways of hanging around waiting. Kyle slept for a while:

Halle and Dane bonded:

Dane played with Daddy:



Two babies!!

Then, it was time to go. I got a nice little nature shot as we hiked out:

And within seconds, Dane was asleep.

We had such a great time. Let's do it again soon.
