W & W Campout

The Wheeler & Waters Family Camp Out was scheduled rain or shine this year.  It was anyone's guess as to what the weather would be.  This year we brought along new friends staying with us Christiana & Shawn.  This was their first time camping out.  The weather was warm really warm as we left town.  As we hit the campsite it had dropped 20 degrees.  Perfect for camping and exploring.

 First came dinner....Subway is my camping friend.
 Star Gazing with Blake's amazing telescope that you could see Saturn along with it's moons.
 WAIT!!! 
We are camping there should be no technology or video games.
Wild Life creeping into camp.  Look close you can see one of the 4 deer that came into the area. Or rather should I say Skunks, Deer, Squirrels, Chipmunks, and Mountain Lions Oh My!

Time to hike... 
 Crossing the lake on rocks...Don't slip and get wet.
 Be careful and don't fall in.
 Hiding out from the rain.
Saturday afternoon the clouds started to gather, next the thunder, and followed by lightening.  Dinner was delayed due to rain.  We had a break and started to cook hamburgers & hot dogs.
Then BAM!!! it started back up again with full force and continued most of the night.  

It was a fun time to be together and enjoy the great outdoors.  However, monsoon season might not be the best time to go camping.
