2009 Annual Family Camping Trip

Average July temps for MN/WI - 90's
Temp for our camping trip (average) 50's !

Yikes it was a cold one, but yet another great time. Funny how great company, family, food, and a little firewood (okay lots of firewood) can turn your mind from the cold weather into a great weekend!
This year we camped at the same place as 2007, which is an Army Corp of Engineers campground just 60 mins east of the cities. We had the pleasure of being joined by our usual suspects and for her 2nd Johnson family camping, a returnee, my friend Nicole from NM and her son Joshua (age 4). I think Joshua had the best time ever!

We ate great food, pretty much 24/7 and played lots of games (you are looking at the 2009 cribbage champion), searched for the 2nd annual Yule bucket (found by my Samantha) and talked and talked. We even got my dad's iteranary for his 2010 hike along the Applacian Trail.

I didn't get any pictures, but there were people in the group lurking with cameras so I hope we can get a few copies of that and I will post.

It was fun to get our minds of the stresses of adoption and tell family and friends of our new daughter who will be joining us on 2010's annual family camping trip!

A hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.- Forest Witcraft
