Family Camping/Renuion?

"Family life is a bit like runny peach pie--not perfect but who's complaining? --Robert Brault

The week each year I get to spend with my family is a good one.  I love being with them.  This year the camp ground we usually go to was still very wet and muddy so we decided to "camp" in Thatcher at my mom and dads.  We have always called this week family camping.  Technically we still camped.  Most of us slept in tents and trailers and cooked outdoors but I think I would call it a family reunion.  It didn't fulfill my desire to go camping but it accomplished the purpose we get together for and that is what counts.  The pros out wayed the cons so we are going to do it in Thatcher next year.  It was good for mom and dad to be able to sleep in their bed and for those who have little ones it was easier to keep track of them.  I must admit flushing toilets is a BIG plus too.

Here are some of the highlights of the week.
