The Burleys Go Camping

Ah...our first weekend of camping during 2010. We took Friday off and headed out with the pop-up camp trailer, 2 vehicles and 7 eager campers. Hours later we arrived at beautiful Crystal Lake Campground. Little did we know that had we left any earlier we would have been turned away. As it was, we were the first campers of the season.
It was a very fun filled three days. Our granddaughters came along so they provided hours of entertainment all by themselves.
This lovely creek is seen before you actually enter the campground. I had to take a photo since most years it's pretty low and come August it's pretty much dry. But this year left that creek is nice and full.

The lake itself was also high this year after all the rain. I didn't even look like the same lake we visited last year. Much of the outskirts of last year's lake was underwater this year. I can remember thinking that it would probably be possible to walk across it in years past because it was so low and there were weeds sticking up out of the water. It's really a nice change!
Here's a photo of Kelsey and Jasper. Kelsey's doing what she always does when she sees a camera in my hand. I don't understand why she refuses to let me take her picture, while she takes hundreds of photos of herself all the time. It must been a teen thing?
The first night we broke out the new peanut butter filled Oreos. They didn't last long. Here Jasper is showing his sadness that he just realized this is the LAST Oreo.
And here's Jasper again..............searching for just one more!

Vince's mom surprised him with a visit on Saturday. Barb lives in Lewistown but has never been out to Crystal Lake so they ventured out to see what we are always talking about. She decided it was a nice drive but wouldn't want to do it at night. I agree...you'll never find me on that road after dark!

We got rain on Saturday night and it was still damp and chilly on Sunday morning. We left all the chairs out so there wasn't a dry seat in camp. Alivia was cold and tired and since the camper was being packed up, she had to find another place to stay warm.

I believe when I asked Alivia why she was doing this, she said "Somebody tooted."
And last.......Kelsey must not have seem me coming because this looks like a smile to me!
