This weekend we went camping up at Bonaparte Lake, near Oroville. We were planning on meeting some of the friends up in the state park. Jason and I were providing dinner, but we ended up not finding the campsite until about 8:30 pm. Everyone was very hungry, so we hurried and got the grill going. The Thompsons brought a salad and garlic bread, so that was our first course while we waited for the chicken and potato packs to cook.

Amy remembered that it was my birthday, and she made me a delicious raspberry pie!!!
The next morning, Wade napped in the shade.

Later on in the day we went over to Mike and Tawn's. We headed up to Spectacle Lake so that Jason and Mike could catch crawdads. 
Tristan thinks that maybe he should be ready to punch the crawdad if it gets too fiesty. We used to catch crawdads in WI, but I have never seen crawdads this size before!!
Admiring the catch. (Sunday they caught some more...probably about twice as many as this)
I missed the picture of the crawdads being boiled, but here they are cleaning them.
And, finally, time to eat them. They really do taste like lobster, the claws taste like crab, but they are much smaller, so you don't get the big chunks of meat like you do with other seafood.
Tawn pulling double duty! 
Birthday cheesecake!
Gwyndolyn likes to be bounced on the exercise ball. Tristan thought it looked like fun, too, so he got his own ball and baby and started bouncing. :)
