Camping

This summer, the younger kids and my mom have really enjoyed going camping. They got tents and sleeping bags and so forth, and set up a little camping area in a field about a half mile behind our house. So, one evening the end of August, we invited Dusty, his wife Morgan, and their three children, along with Dusty's sister Rachel, to go camping with us. We had a fun time, and it even involved sleeping. Rachel, Annetta, and I climbed trees, and then when Jessica joined us, we decided to walk back to the house to get her sleeping bag. Then we walked back...in the dark...and pretty much scared ourselves hearing noises of what we were sure were creatures stalking us with unfriendly motives. But we made it back safely.

These next few pictures are just some random scenery-type photos that didn't fit in anywhere else, so I thought I'd throw them in this post. They were taken about a week ago or so.
