Camping (Very Late)

Okay, so we're really late with the camping photos. We took a weekend tent trip over to Lake Shelbyville in Illinois with friends from both St. Louis and Chicago. It's become sort of annual tradition, at least one that we're trying to make. Does two years in a row count as tradition?

Anyway, we spent Friday and Saturday night camped out under the stars, with a bit of unexpected rain Saturday night. Luckily it all came and went as we slept snug in the tent, although it's getting a bit crowded in there. Might be time to upgrade to more of a portable chateau.

For the most part it was a pretty low-key camping trip. We had a party for Josh who turned 40 sometime around the trip, so the kids got to go on a little scavenger hunt. There was a lot of eating, some semi-successful fishing, a big watergun fight, a lot of time on the playground, and just a general all-around good time.

I walked into WAY too many spiderwebs, though. Lake Shelbyville - YOU'RE ON NOTICE.

Looks like fun!

The only thing that water canon on the bottom needs is a plastic chainsaw blade. Water Lancer!
