Mckay was a great helper. He set up his little tent.
Mckay and Leah helped fetch water and start the campfire. 
All three had fun runnning around in the trees and bushes playing imaginary games. I think camping helps siblings love each other more-- look at Mckay hugging Leah!
Later that afternoon we went swimming 
and walked along the shore. 
Cute brothers. 
The sun bather.
We went on a Monday night, so the campground was almost empty of people and full of squirrels and birds. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows--of course! We had our Family Night Lesson by the campfire and Mckay shared the sweetest testimony.
Camel Packs.
The next day we went hiking in Miller Canyon.
the kids did a great job hiking and then we had a fun picnic and played in the creek!
What an adventure!

Now you know the tricks to wearing out the boys!
(Yes, Mckay is asleep with his eyes wide open)
Here is a fun video of why we like the creek:

I am so impressed. This would never happen in our family. I don't like camping enough let alone do it without Mark. You are great. It looks like you guys had a blast.
That looks like so much fun! I haven't been camping in ages. Your kids will look back on this trip with fondness!
I LOVE camping and used to go with my family all the time. Since being married we've only been 1 time. I miss it!! I LOVED the pics.
How fun! We need to find out where this camp site is, I think we would have fun there.
Edith, you can look it up online, but the Silverwood Lake turnoff is highway 138 in the middle of the Cajon Pass. It's easy to get to and fun! Call me if you want more details. I think the campground (and lake, etc,) was twenty dollars a night.
