camping in reno

This year we did a weekend camping trip with ALL of the Gonda's! It was so fun! I hope it is an annual tradition.  We camped just at the foothills of the mountains in a beautiful camp called Davis Creek Campground.  The kids had so much fun playing together and it felt great to be out in nature.

The girls loved these little chairs and carried them all over camp.  They also loved little Aria.

Dave and Calvin set up a couple of tents

 Dave wresteled with Ben. Aria was very upset by this thinking the boys were fighting. Dave lost.

 Grandpa Dan is the best

 There was a little lake that the kids walked around.

 Kate found a tiny frog.

 Calvin didn't use his tablet at all on the trip. He had a good time. Did 1000 times better than I thought.

The kids loved a game where they'd kick the ball up the hill and then try to catch it before it came past them down the hill.

Saturday morning we left camp to swim. It ended up being too cold to swim but Dave challenged Joe and Ben to a race. Dave lost. (yes, that's the second time Dave lost). He swam sideways into the lane lines. He will want a re match next year with goggles.

Joe hosted a cherry pit spitting contest which he won.
