Our church had family camp this weekend up at Lake Siskyou. We planned on coming up for the day but decided last minute to camp. So on the day we were to leave, after a children's ministry meeting and Mike's haircut, Mike and I raided Target and Walmart and got all the supplies we needed. We made it up there at about 3 and got to our campsite. It was nice, however DIRTY. Now I know what you are thinking...that's not saying a lot coming from a neat-freak like me but it's true. That was probably the dustiest campsite I've ever been to. And Emily took great advantage of her ability to get dirty. She even got dirtier than the 2 year olds and her friends Tessa and Becca. And, no joke, in about 2 minutes. She had a cold so she kept rubbing her nose with her dirty hands and it was all I could do to keep her face recognizable! So she was voted dirtiest kid for the weekend!We took Allyson up with us, (my parents ended up coming with Rylee last minute), and we found she is not our camper. She did NOT like the dirt in the least bit. She also didn't like the cold nights. She woke up the next morning saying it was cold and she wanted to go home to Nana's house. So since my dad had to work the next day, Nana took the two youngest home and just left us with Tessa and Emily.
So Mike and I decided that camping was fun, we hadn't done it in years. And now that we have the stuff we're thinking down the road we would try Patricks Point. Can you believe Mike has never heard of it or been there?

I am debating if in the top picture, Emily looks more like Jodie Foster in that old movie Nell or the girl from Island of the Blue Dolphins? :)
Or even better, the white lady who was captured by the Indians in Dances with Wolves.
Em getting so dirty was really super cute. It was like a SNL skit. You would wipe her down, and literally 60 seconds later she was twice as dirty.....we had such a blast!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I removed the video of the camping trip. I really sincerely apologize for bringing any offense. It most definitely wasn't my intention. My wife gave me fair warning about it and I should have listened to her.
On another note, we really enjoyed having the opportunity to get to know you and Mike better. You're both cooly cool people and I'm thinking we should make plans to go see a Giants game together this next month.
Love Ya!
SO, I was bummed I didn't get to go to Family Camp before. But could you all please just take a little pity on me and act as if you had a lousy time so I am not so sad that I missed out. :) Glad you all had fun, maybe next year. Jenn
