The Great Labor Day Camping Trip 2020

On Labor Day weekend, we had our 4th annual campout, which thankfully did not get cancelled by Covid. We had fewer families than our peak last year, but the core participants were there: Us, Chris and Lukas, Jess and Anna, Robyn and Franklin and Oscar and Felix and Xavier. Plus, as a bonus, Lindsey and Brent and Grayson and Brie drove down from Virginia to join us.  I love this event because technically I am the organizer and so it is my contribution, but all I do is send an email reminding everyone to reserve their campsites and we all show up and do our thing. It's the ideal ratio of minimal effort for maximum reward.

We continued our excellent luck of near-perfect weather.

(Note: These pictures are in reverse order because that's how they uploaded and it was too much work to rearrange them.)












The only annoying thing was that because the beaches were closed, we had a lot more squatters than normal invading our lake-front property. See all those people in the background? Not our people.






On the first night, we had an amazing red (nearly) full moon rise over the lake. Simon was night fishing while Alice and Grayson were night reading.
