Camping Rex style

It is a wonder to me how a family that produced 5 Eagle Scouts could hate true camping so much. The Rex's would take the Marriott and room service any day over a tent and campfire cooking.

We all decided to meet half way with a long weekend at a cabin by Strawberry resevoir. The "cabin" is equipped with 2 bathrooms, 1 shower, tv with DVD player, stove, fridge, and microwave. It's a long way off of tent poles, blow up mattresses and campfires, but we managed to have a good time.

Grandma and her sons took ALL the kids fishing down to the lake. The women stayed back and relaxed, hoping that the men would come back with as many children as they left with. In the end they had all the children, but no fish. They did have fun though!





Uncle Dale is training for a triathalon and felt the need to swim in Strawberry. If you've been there you know this is not a good idea. The 50 degree water is not meant for swimming. He doned his wet suit and jumped in for and icy swim. We're glad he came back alive.



We spent all day Saturday at Starvation lake. Which is warm and swimmable. It was a lot of fun, but terribly windy. I didn't pull out my camera for fear of what the sandblasting might do to it. So there are no pictures of Sabrina's wardrobe malfunction, Dale and Lincoln getting dumped in the lake by the wind, the boat wreck caused by a out of control ski boat, or the kiddies loving it up in the surf and sun...... But they would of been great pics!!!!!
