Phair Play

MLK weekend we were invited to join our friends - the Phairs - to go camping.  They had reserved a yurt over on the coast and asked us to join in their fun.. It was pretty last minute but we decided to go.  I checked the weather and saw it was supposed to be nicer there then here which gave me more motivation to go.  Plus it was a yurt and not a tent. :)
It was just for one night but we managed to pack in a lot of fun in a short time.
We made s'mores, roasted hot dogs, made tin foil dinners, the kids went in the canoe on the lake with Sam and Joel while me, Lisa and Jackson walked the trail around the lake, we walked to the lighthouse which was close to the campground, went to the beach, the kids got soaked, and buried in the sand.  It was a great trip - the beach was perfect and the whole time was so fun. 
roasting marshmallows - the kids loved it!  Sam had a very hard time with this - he dropped 3 into the fire.
