Family Camping Trip

During the second week of July we met my parents and sister along with her family at Ponderosa for five nights of camping.  We had a lot of fun which included swimming, crafts,hiking, biking,  playing, eating and just spending time together.   Also, lots and lots of pictures of the above.  Enjoy.
