Camping at Martin Creek Lake

We went camping at Martin Creek Lake for our annual family camping trip this year. As usual, we all had a great time.

Martin Creek Lake

We opted to stay in a cabin while the others roughed it a bit. Here I am in the kitchen making dinner.

Wading in the lake.

Jaxon getting ready for a swim. He was swinging his life jacket around. Jaxon always looks like he is having a great time.

The sunbathers - Patty, Nana, Jenny, Jaxon and Julia.

Nathan going back in the water for more swimming. The water level was so high there wasn't a beach to make sandcastles.

Nathan and Jaxon taking a break from all the excitement. Nathan actually took a very short nap in the back of my car.

Back at the campsite having a water balloon fight. Jaxon got soaked and loved it. Boy, that water was cold. I got hit a couple of times with the balloons.

Nathan off with Daddy picking flowers.

Most of the kids went off with Jake to see how many fish they could catch. Julia caught a couple. I did, too.

The campfire brings out the pyro in all of us . . . even Jaxon.

Collin delivering some wood for our Saturday night campfire.

Isn't it so cute when the little ones hold hands? Jessie and Nathan are so cute.

Joelle and Julia were modeling for Randy.

The happy campers roasting marshmellows.

Nathan, Jordan and Joelle are full of smores.

The older cousins hanging out in our cabin. We kicked them out shortly after this photo and went to bed.


We had a great time even though Papa's car broke, Nathan got attacked by ants, Joelle hurt her elbow and Jordan hit her head. Fun memories!! We can't wait to go again next year.
