Camping!

Camping was tiring freezing awesome! Seriously, we had a lot of fun. The environmental center people assured me the cabin was heated, but their definition of heated was perhaps a little more optimistic than ours. But we kept the fire going throughout the night, and we didn't freeze to death, and the girls seemed to have fun despite the cold.

A competitive game of "Down by the Banks" would take anyone's mind off the cold.

We made fire-starters and built mini fires, then cooked dinner over the fire. S'mores and dough boys were dessert, and most of us had seconds and thirds.

The smoke! Gets in your eyes!

The next morning we hiked all over the place. Hiking was very fun, and the girls made good use of their hiking sticks and earned a hiking badge. Everyone was tired, but everyone had fun!

The intrepid hikers conquer nature!
