Camping

we went camping for 3 days in Chesterton at a campground,

we had wonderful weather and a great time

Charlie's first campout

The boys set up the tents for us

Jordan untangling tent cords

gotta love camp food... it just tastes better

a little Highfill charm

building a fire

Jimmie using his algebra book to keep the fire going

he loved this

S'mores time

he wouldn't eat them, just roast them (or burn them)

Jack and Jimmie

Jack, Charlie, and Jimmie

it looks like Charlie is smiling but he has a marshmallow

in his mouth (so it could be a smile)

Jack and Dad

poor Charlie can't get away from Jack for a minute

I don't think he minds much

We did a little Geocahing on one of the days

we found 4 caches and didn't find 2

Jordan found this one in the back of the tree

Jimmie looking for the next one

I found this one in that tree behind the boys

the boys picking through all the treasure

this cache had a travel bug inside, Jordan is holding it up, it

is a tinman. So we kept the travel bug and will hide him somewhere

near our house (that is how he travels, people move them from

cache to cache)

all my guys (Heather doesnt camp - big surprise)

all of us

Jimmie, Jack, Jordan and Charlie

found another cache at the base of this rock

Jimmie found this one behind that tree

Dave had just looked there but didn't see it

Charlie cooling off in the stream

he isn't swimming on purpose, he slipped off the rock and

the stream swept him away

Jimmie reeling him in (poor Charlie)

Charlie was not impressed!

Jack lured Dave into the ladybug shell

this is just funny (to me)

this campground had a little park and a pool, so the bigger

boys were swimming while Jack played at the park

We had a great campout
