Camping with the community

I love my church. They are my family...along with my family. A great camping extravaganza was planned, got diverted when the mountain closed down because of fire danger, but actually happened when they reopened the mountain again.

So up to Mt. Lemmon we went! I actually didn't stay the night (didn't know if the dog would play with others calmly), but did end up getting a lovely nap amongst some pine needles.


Cute moment with Ronamaki

Ahhh mighty Settlers



Steve notices but Eric doesn't



None of the Brunson children can get married soon enough :)



It was a lovely time with games, watermelon, great salsa, and dear friends. Listening to Karen and Jeremy tell stories was an absolute delight. They're very laid back people but the go-back-and-forth as they tell stories is HILARIOUS. Also, a small group of us hiked up to the ridge near our campsite (thanks H & S for making me go!) to watch the sunset. Of course, I forgot my camera, but it was GORGEOUS! And then I actually felt COLD - really! I couldn't believe it. The drive down at night accented the cool air, making it one of the best moments of the summer.
