School Camp Out

We went yurt camping last weekend at the beach.  There were about 140 people from Tessa's school there.  We had so much fun! 

Highlights of the Weekend…

The view out the skylight in our yurt.  It is so nice to have natural light during the day and be able to wake up and see the stars in the middle of the night (but still be inside and have a heater and electricity).

My dad trying to give me the burned pancake.  He always tries, and I always catch him.

no thanks

Emma eating in her high chair… in the woods.  Because camping without a high chair… that is just uncivilized!

Party at my parent's campsite Saturday night. We had six or seven families come eat dinner with us around the campfire.)  Looks like we might have to put Braden and Andrea on "social"!

Kids slept all night the first night.

(Thanks kids!)

When we arrived my dad had just made chili… and it was the best camping chili we've ever had.

Praise Team

One of Rogene's favorite hobbies is playing the bass (or piano, or acoustic guitar) with our church's praise team.  These pictures (and the video) are from our outdoor church last Saturday.
