Camping!

So last weekend we went camping down at Palisade Lake with our friends Brian and Tiffanie (and their cute baby Makaylee!) and Brian's brother Matt and his wife Kaycie. It was so much fun! Granted the heat made me swell up like a whale and I was usually too tired to do anything other than sit and talk, but I still had a lot of fun. :) Jon got a couple of good golf games in and he went fishing twice, so he had fun too. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of pictures because my camera is a piece of crap and tells me that the batteries are dead when they are in fact NOT dead at all, in fact they were brand new. And a few minutes later it realizes it was wrong and starts working for about 5 minutes again. (sigh) Oh well, so Tiffanie has all of the good pictures, along with the ones showing my whale-like state, so once she posts hers on her blog (eh-hem), then I'll copy them over. :) Here's the few that I got (they're all right when we got there).

Cute Makaylee playing with rocks and sticks and stuff. She helped us set up the tents.

This is Tiff trying to figure her tent out - as soon as we got there the boys bailed to make their tee time, so the left the lady with a baby and the pregnant one to put them up. Mine wasn't too bad, but Tiff's tent was confusing!

Here's me setting up my tent.

Don't worry, this isn't how it ended up, we eventually figured it out, but because Tiff's tent was so weird shaped and confusing, when we tried to put on the rain fly it was...a bit of a mess as you can see. :) And no, we didn't just throw it on for a picture moment, this was after one or two honest efforts. All in all it took about an hour and a half to get our tents up, most of it on theirs because we just couldn't figure it out and it was it's first time out of the box. Good times!

Well, like I said my camera was a piece of crap, so three days of camping and only 4 pictures to show for it. (sigh) Tiff, it's your turn so I can steal your pictures now! :)
