This is very late. I was so bummed when I realized that I missed it this month and forgot to take pictures while we were camping. Thankfully, I realized that the pictures my mother-in-law let me have from her camera from the 12th capture what were doing last weekend.

We went to Yuba lake and camped, played on the boat and on the wave runners. It was my kind of camping- with water and toilets.  Thank goodness for my in-law's fifth wheel too- we had a kitchen and bed also.
