On Friday night we all hung out at "Camp Bartlett". The kids school hosted a camp-out where people could setup their tents (or motorhomes) on the playground of the school. The whole family went, but only Nate, Madeline and I camped out. They had a moonwalk, karaoke and all sorts of fun activities for the kids. That night, the firemen came and had a bonfire. They built the fire wearing their fireman gear, pants, jacket, everything. They used a bottle of lighter fluid and flares, and couldn't get the fire started - all while 200 people looked on. Pretty akward. Eventually, they got it going - but hey, they're supposed to be able to put the fires out, not start them, right?

It was a great time with the kids, except forthe sleeping part of it. It turns out that we slept about 50 FEET from a train, which happened to go by about FIFTEEN times that night. I slept horribly, not to mention the three of us were trying to fit into a 2 man tent.

On Saturday, we had some friends over to barbecue.
