Camping Highlights

The air mattress was nice except it was only half inflated in the morning. But still better than David's situation, which was sleeping on the ground between the two air mattresses because Archer kicked him off.

Sorry to Dad who tried to teach us euchre and we all revolted when it got too complicated, and resorted to playing BS. It was kind of Denise to let Dad win at least once, since it was Father's Day and everything...

Shelly did really well almost the whole time, with the only exception being when she woke up and was hungry, but I had to pee, and she had to wait a whole three minutes for me to come back! Lucky for us that was the worst of it, and she was smiling and happy the rest of the time.

Archer avoided too much sunburn, but did get a little bit. The fun of playing in the sand and water overrode the downside of the sunburn though. And he made lots of friends in the campground!

The pit toilets were as good as could be hoped, but everyone in our group mostly stayed away and just went off in the woods... Lucky for us our camp sites were surrounded by dense brush.

Dad was able to go hunting for some geocaches, but I don't think he actually found them because of the bug situation. It adds a little scavenger hunt dimension to the camping, though, and I hope we can do more of that next time.
