Campout and Sunday at the Lake

As mentioned before, Cody had his camp out at preschool on Friday. He's been looking forward to it for a while, having had such a good time last year. He's been scoping out his camp site for the last month.

Hot dogs and all the typical BBQ sides.

The zip line

S'mores by the campfire

This year's treat: Piano Man Tim. He did use a guitar instead, because who's ever heard of a piano by the campfire.

Along with this fun, they made flags to hang on their tents, took a walk in the evening, hunted for glow rocks, pancakes and sausage for breakfast and another walk to the river in the morning.

Sunday we packed up and headed to Folsom Lake. The weather has turned to summer and cooling down is the name of the game. We got there around 10;30, pre-crowd, and found our spot. As soon as the sunscreen and life jackets were on, they boys hit the water and barely left it. It's not a clear lake by any means, but it was a good time.

This is how I spent most the time, standing in the water, reading my book and watching the boys. It's hot, damnit!

Snack break

Run, trip, dowsed in water.

Remember our trip in November, when we sank in the mud to our knees. See the background, no water.

I didn't get a great comparison shot, but you can see some of the ridge lines in the photo, where there is water now. Crazy to see the differences.
