Camping on the 4th of July

2009-07-04 006

Alex and Erik went on a Church campout on Mt. Lemmon for the 3rd - 4th of July. (I stayed home with Adam as I don’t feel much like sleeping on the ground at the moment.) They had lots of fun despite getting rained on quite a bit.

Alex’s Note: OK, so saying we got rained on a little bit is an understatement. It rained off and on in the afternoon, nothing too bad, but at 9:30 PM when I was putting Erik to bed a nasty thunderstorm blew over us and poured rain on us all night. "Fortunately" for us we were in nice and secure Coleman tents. Ours leaked from the roof all night as well as letting water soak up through the floor. We slept fine but I had a time cleaning out the tent in the morning. I still need to air out and dry the sleeping bags and sleeping mats before they grow a new form of sentient life in the garage.

Here’s Erik not wanting to smile for a picture.

He had a great time playing with friends…in fact Alex rarely knew where he was since he was usually off somewhere playing with other kids.

This net is dangerous. The night before it tried to strangle Erik when he got too close.
