Family Camping

We got to have the best time camping together with the family in South Dakota.  Who knew that South Dakota weather changes every 5 seconds:  Sunny, foggy, overcast, sunny, 5 drops of rain, wind, still, and once, a violent thunderstorm:  more lightening than we have ever seen at one time before--blew in, blew out at night and was gorgeous by morning--the camping trails weren't even muddy.  The air is thick and Seattleish.  Was wonderful.  We missed Lisa (in Europe), James, Allie, Marie and Grace {Home taking care of Marie in the hospital}.  Everyone else was there.  Best fishing EVER.  Beautiful, beautiful country.  I had pictures of all the kids catching a fish, but blogger is being weird....so you get to see the pictures it would upload!  I actually think most of these are Kristen and Alex's pictures instead of the ones I took, but whatever!  I Blogged!  It was GREAT.  The week was so short, all the kids were PERFECT.  Weather (except for the one thunderstorm) was ideal.  Fantastic!  Happy Memories.
