First Camping Trip of the Season - May 1-3, 2009

Just a warning.....there are lots of pictures! This first one is of the farm at the point, one of my favorite places! I just love it up there.
Here we are at the point....a little different view point. Going for a walk. It actually turned into a hike, for everyone but Emma and I. They walk around that draw and up and around to the point. I took the pickup over there and kinda followed them and picked them up to take them back to camp.So here is our target. We bought a .22 that week and took the kids out to let them shoot it. They had a great time! They would all get so many shots, then we would all walk out to the target and see where all the new holes were.
Here's Gary teaching Sierra the proper way to hold the gun and sight it in on the target.
Gary and Grace.....
Gary and Joe......
Even Em had to get in on the action. She thought it was great!
Everyone checking out the target.
This is the old sistern up there on the old homestead where we are building our campground. If you don't know, a sistern is where they stored the water that they hauled up from the creek.
Joe sittin' on some of the old farm equipment still up there around the farm.
More old farm equipment.
Here's the moose we saw while we were at the point.
We saw this beautiful owl while we were on our way to go shooting with the kids. She was trying to lead us out of there. She acted like she couldn't fly and was hoping around. I did get some pretty good pics of her.
I really liked this one of her in the branches. She really blends in well. So beautiful!
This is our cute little tree growing out of the rocks up at the point.
And to end it with some pictures of the Awsome sunsets that we get to see up there!

Beautiful pictures of the farm. I love the owl and Joe on the farm equipment. We went camping to the dunes and had fun but no great pictures.
