Elton Reunion 2010

Last weekend was the annual Elton Family Reunion. We went camping above Anderson Ranch at Dog Creek Campground. The campground was beautiful, shady, and clean. The weather was great! Cool in the mornings, hot in the afternoon (so we could go swimming at the lake), and warm evenings. We really didn't need to have a fire each evening but we did. What is camping without a fire, right? We did have a rain/thunderstorm come through Saturday night though. We went hiking, exploring on the 4 wheelers, swimming, and had some family activities which including baseball with pools as the bases and making sea worthy boats out of cardboard, plastic bags, and noodle floties. Ours didn't do so well. I was the one in the "boat" and couldn't keep it balanced enough to even think of paddling it. It ended up being a big pile of soggy wet cardboard and plastic bags. It was fun though. Unfortunately sometime between leaving Thursday night and Friday morning our camera's battery went completely dead, so no pictures. It was a good weekend, aside from the Nazi campground host, but I won't go into that. :)
