Donner Lake

This year we went to Donner Lake for our annual family campout. Although we didn't realize it, they were having a giant living history celebration that weekend, and we had a lot of fun meeting the characters and learning the stories of our past.

John and Conner wait for the festivities to begin.


The kids pose for a group picture.

Cookin' the good old way.


How's this for headwear?


Trying to strike it rich.



Posing with their hand-made dolls.



Taking a break on the lake.


Entertaining themelves until dinner.

Making beaded pouches to carry our valuables.


Camille learns to shoot a rubber band gun. . .

and play other pioneer games.

and we all head back to the (cold) lake.
