lake kachess camping
the annual freeze out wasn't as cold as last year and it only rained a little. the big boys were fairly well behaved, though christopher did manage to stink up the campfire area multiple times and craig was nowhere to be found during his designated meal cooking time. logan kept the boys busy playing baseball or going fishing. 
marcus was trying to make sure that either a) he doesn't go camping again until he's 10 or b) he never has a sibling. we stayed in kenny and ramona's trailer rather than pitching a tent. we figured it would be warmer at night and marcus, and we, would sleep better. well, he had other things planned for us. the second night he decided that it would be great fun to be wide awake between 11pm and 3am. he couldn't decide if he wanted to play or fuss, so he alternated between the two. kenny and ramona said it wasn't a problem and that they slept okay, but i'm guessing they're liars and don't want us to feel bad! we'll see if our next reservation at the nakashima trailer gets mysteriously lost...

results of the pirates of the caribbean survey
only one person completed the pirates survey and she happens to be an expert in the field of all things piratey (seriously, she is. she taught a course on pirate literature this spring.) and she's a fan of johnny depp. so if you want to get someone's opinion on the movie, you couldn't ask for a better one. according to the survey, here's what she has to say about the movie:

-the cast and costumes are excellent
-it's totally believable and true to life
-it's clever, funny, suspenseful, and unique
-she felt "amused and happy" after seeing it
-it's not for people under 12
i'm still not sure if we'll see it in the theater, but it'll definitely be on our netflix list as soon as it's out!
on another note, it looks like marcus may have inherited a bit of his mom's ocd tendencies. he's taken to rearranging things and pushing the swiffer around.

those pictures are great! marcus looks all grown up in that first picture especially. so cute. tell him his sneaky ways won't outsmart his parents though... you guys are on to him and he'll go camping come heck or highwater! :)
at least he makes up for his nocturnal habits by sweeping the floor at home. that's a pretty good trade off!
spoken from one who knew Marcus' mom when she was that age, in the third picture, he looks just like his mommy!
Marcus sure is growing up fast! We have actually left a campsite at 2 in the morning because we had a screaming child (Micah) who wouldn't calm down. Liz
