Roughing it... AGAIN

With Rich busy in the academy and me teaching summer school, time for a vacay is hard to find. We did, however, take advantage of the extra day off given for the 4th of July and head to the Sierra Mountains & Kern River to get a little family camping in. We didn't get our usual spot, but it turned out well because we found a new spot that had a access to an awesome part of the river. We were able to fish and swim right next to our camp. Eli caught his first brown trout, which he told everyone when we returned home. In all, it wasn't a long trip, but it's always really refreshing to be outside & hang out with each other. Roughing it isn't always so rough(:

someone who stayed at the campsite before us strung up a swing on a tree branch. it was a hit with the kids!
