141st Passage

We had a great spot to camp this year, which was pretty secluded. It was very rare that we saw anyone even drive through our camp area. We didn't have any latrines near by, but that's okay because David made a toilet that sat over a hole inside of a shelter thing my dad brought up. 

We had enough space that we could spread out nicely.

Here's camp. The tent in this one was our main gathering area. It's where we cooked, ate, played games, etc. Behind it, which you can't see, is my parents' tent, and another for my brothers.

Our tent is on the right, and the brown on the left is Chris's. The bathroom tent was to the right of the photo. We had a shower tent out there too. 

In camp we had this little creek that ran through it. We used it to keep our ice chests cool, to play in, and to do some sponge bathing. Oh, and once Lydia fell in, which I didn't even know about until she got out and called for me all soaking wet and freezing cold. 

While at camp the kids ran around and played. Sometimes with big sticks which inevitably hurt different kids at different times. The older boys shot bb guns, bikes were ridden, baseball, and fristbee were played, fun was had. 

The adults did a lot of playing too. Frisbee, baseball, boche ball, target shooting, board and card games, and just hanging out. 

Oh, and we ate a lot. We weren't allowed to have campfires, so luckily we had propane stoves and rocket stoves and dutch ovens. 

Creative marshmallow roasting.
