Camping 2011

July 20, 2011

A few years ago, as our friends started getting married off, a few of them decided that we should start a yearly camping tradition like many of our parents have had for years with their own friends and family. And before we knew it Camping 2009 was planned and a tradition was born. This year marked the third annual trip. Hopefully there will be many years to come…

The weather was a bit iffy this year… a little bit of rain, some clouds, some sun. Usually you can always count on sunshine in eastern Washington, but not this year. Apparently the wretched weather here is overtaking the whole state. But as soon as the sun came out, we took full advantage. Our days consisted of boating, lounging, playing tennis, lots of lawn games, and volleyball. Our nights consisted of delicious dinners (flank steak, pork tenderloin, teriyaki chicken sandwiches), gourmet s’mores (Reeces PB cup, Nutella and banana) and playing a game called “Warewolf” around the fire at night, which is similar to Mafia where you sit in a circle with your eyes closed and people get “killed” off and you have to try to catch the killer. It totally stressed me out in a good way…

Baby Jersie hung out all week. She totally stole the show…

Safety first, Jersie. Although she is smiling here, she really hated this thing. Understandably.

The girls around the campfire…

About Jen Russum

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
