Pictures post wedding... camping trip with the girls

MJ fishing as Zach looks on wistfully

Sleeping beauty... Geneva manages to make even sleeping in a tent in a flannel sleeping bag look glamorous!

Ripley just cannot accept the fact that MJ is NOT a morning (or even early afternoon) person


The first weekend in August we headed for the hills for some fun in the mountain sun. Our camping spot was above Idaho City. We had just girls (Kim, Tobi, Geneva and I) the first night, MJ, Ripley & Wendy and her dogs joined us the second night. It was important to me to spend as much time with my friend Geneva as I could steal away before she went back home to Australia. We camped in a gorgeous area... probably the best place I have ever "car camped" (this is what we call camping when no real effort or hiking is involved in getting to the camp spot). We were on a bit of an island, so the river wrapped around our tents. I woke up a couple of times late into the night and just layed there looking at the stars and listening to the river. We saw a lot of little creatures such as frogs and snakes... the usual suspects - deer & hawks... MJ caught a few small(ish) fish... our friend Tobi grilled up the thickest, juiciest, yummiest steaks ever... the four of us finished all the wine the first night... the sky was FULL of satellites, shooting stars and constellations and since there was a burn ban we sat for hours just looking at the heavens and chatting the night away... good times...
