Back From the Sierras

Last weekend, we packed up the van, once again, to go camping in the Sierras (80 miles east of Fresno) at Wishon Village, with Mark's family. It was Mark's dad's birthday last Saturday (Happy Birthday, Art) so we celebrated in high fashion. We were camping at an RV park, which has extra large lots to allow for one more camper, tent, vehicle, etc... So, Mark and I decided to "camp-out" right next to Art and Lynn's motorhome. It was wonderful. Every morning we awoke to a freshly brewed pot of coffee along with scrumptious zucchini bread... oh, it gets better... we also had a bathroom, shower, and couches! I think the next time we go camping, we're going with the parents!!!

Mark's cousin, Dan, brought their boat along. We had a blast cruising around Courtright Reservoir. We beached the boat and had some lunch with an awesome view! The kids played around in the water, while the adults sat and soaked it all in.
















Here is a cute one of Shayna's cousins, Cooper and Kaitlyn.






Here are all of the kids (l to r): Cooper, Shayna, Kaitlyn, & Grace.

The kids also had a blast racing down the hill! No major injuries to report.






Here's a shot of the whole group (l to r): Beans, Jim, Mark, Lynn (aka Grammie), Kaitlyn, Shayna, Art (aka Grandad), Kristi, Cooper, Dan, Lorie (aka me), Grace, Donna, & Scout.




It was a great weekend and hopefully the first of MANY camping trips!!! I will leave you with some of Shayna's fantastic photos:
