Another camping trip

We spent last weekend up at the posse camp. Half our entertainment was watching Zeek chase Doug's dog Penny around as he tried desperately to be her friend. (Zeek, not Doug!)She wasn't impressed. When she wasn't running away, she was sitting there growling fiercely at him. Since he seemed to think he could get through all the small spaces she ran through, it got a little exciting sitting around our little circle sometimes as he flipped over tables and chairs chasing her around. She wasn't even impressed when he pranced around her in a half circle carrying a big stick in his mouth.

Will worked his magic with the Dutch ovens again. He cooked a wonderful roast beef in the bottom one and a delicious blueberry cobbler in the top one. We had a great potluck Saturday night. He also impressed everyone with his own home made sprinkling device to wet down the area.

The creek was a lovely place to hang out and practice rock skipping skills. Here are Doug and Anisa, Galen and Carol and Scott and Becky.

We girls waded bravely downstream, with the water nearly up to our waists in spots. Anisa figured out how to use the timer on my camera and stacked up some rocks for a "tripod". You'd never know she ran through the rocks and barely settled in before the camera clicked, would you? She did a lovely job.

Camping with family is so relaxing and fun. I must admit we all think we are pretty cool!
