Camping in February!

Yes, you did read right, we did go
camping in February! A group of us from our church group got together and headed a couple of hours north past LA and went camping at Castaic Lake. We took Blue Thunder with us too so that we could try it out on a lake for the first time.

We pitched our tents in some seriously strong winds and got ready for the weather. Friday night was fun but cooooooooold! We huddled around the fire and had a great time. But when it came to bed time, it was pretty chilly! We did have some extra guests on Friday night that we weren't accounting for... they turned up ate all the chips, made a big mess and then left... not your ideal company... Their names were 'Rodney the Racoon and friends'!

We took Blue Thunder out on the lake all day Saturday and had a blast. Thunder cruises on the lake because there is no wind or currents and it was so much fun! Annie loved cruising on the water, she got really comfortable and chilled on the front of the boat. The boys even got seriously brave and jumped into the water! I can only imagine just how cold the water was!

Saturday night was much warmer because the wind had died down a lot. Daren and Sarah headed home because Sarah was not feeling well, but the rest of us hung out and chatted and giggled. Our extra guests came back but Sean scared Rodney away this time because we decided that they mess they made was unacceptable!

We had a great time and are already planning our next trip camping... but in the warmer weather!
