Camping in Pinecrest

A couple weeks ago John mentioned that we should go camping.  The girls loved the idea!  Ashlee got on line and tried to find a campground, but everything was either full or had vault toilets (Ashlee did not want to use vault toilets).  The next day I got on line and tried to find a campground.  I found one space open, and by the time I got through the reservation process, it was gone.  Someone else had reserved it instead.  I started looking for the next available weekend and was able to find one available for this weekend, so I reserved it. 
We sold our RV trailer back in February, so this was going to be our first camping trip in a tent, something we have not done for about 7 years.  I was determined that I was not going to bring a bunch of stuff.  I was not going to mess with washing dishes, or even showering for that matter!  We were just going overnight, we needed this to be simple.  For dinner we had foil dinner chicken fajitas (they tasted better than fajita's made at home), for dessert we had campfire cones (very yummy)  and s'mores, and breakfast was cereal, muffins, and donuts.
 Too bad, I could not figure out a way to have the laundry done by the time we got home!  We enjoyed our quick weekend trip.  One last trip for the summer.  The girls started school last week. Harvest started last week too.  Soccer starts this week, so our schedules will be crazy busy.  This is the time of year when I wish there were wither two of me, or a taxi driver to help me out, because it gets to be very hard trying to juggle everything!

Saturday we set up camp, went to the lake and then we went on a hike to the dam.  Spent the evening playing Uno around the campfire.

 Sunday morning we ate breakfast, packed up and took the girls to Lyons Dam to do a little fishing, (they did not catch any fish), before heading home.
