Anderson Family Campout 2011

Every year the Anderson's camp out at Fish Lake in one of the camping sites. This year we decided to go all week. We left our house Sunday, July 24th and headed to Venice. We spent some time with my family and did some work on our other house. After that on Monday afternoon we headed to Fish Lake. We got a single site this year, but everyone joined together in the one big one. We stayed up there Monday through Sunday, but I did head down Wednesday with most of the women for a shower and to help my sister with job applications. We got rained on a lot while we were there. I think we only had two days that it didn't rain. The only one missing from the Anderson clan this year was my brother-in-law Terry. It was nice to have pretty much everyone together again. It's been a while since that happened. A lot of Branden's other relatives came up for the weekend. It's always nice to get away from cell phones, computers, and televisions for a while. We had time to visit, play games, and enjoy nature. I tried to go for a walk every day when possible. Brax had an accident on Thursday night. He was riding his cousin's bike and crashed somehow hitting his chin on the handle bars. His bottom two teeth came up through his tongue. He said when he would drink things the liquid would go all the way through his hole. It was bloody and gross, but is already healed and you'd never know by looking at it. I'm very glad we went and were able to spend time with so many wonderful family members. Being home is also exciting, I'm ready to get back in the swing of things. Two weeks from today school starts!

He looks so cute on his cousin's pink bike.

I couldn't get him to smile.

Playing horse shoes, we won one game.

Brax thought he was cold so he had his coat and my vest.
