Iowa Camping

During my time in Iowa in June this summer, the gang minus Mark decided to go camping up on the Saylorville Lake, North of Des Moines.  So G-Money and Chris and I packed up the things and headed to the campground.  The weather held up great and didn't thunderstorm on us.  God was kind and allowed us to have a great time of fellowship.  We went camping days after the worst of the flooding in Iowa, so there were some pretty incredible log-piles and flooding mess.

these are just a couple cool pics from the lake.  We rented a boat and had a great time.

If I had a beer belly, it would look like this

Experimental cooking, which actually turned out great!

This was a huge Great Blue Heron that took off from the lake while we were on the boat.  Beautiful

Don't know what I was doing...

the perfect hotdog

Chris thinks it's okay too

Gerard tried to eat the whole package of sweetrolls in one bite, but Chris saved the day and kept that from happening

So this is from the night before we went camping, but Chris is on the left, and I'm on the right. Ridiculous.

This is one part of the trip to Iowa.  Coming up is an awesome frisbee shoot set in front of a killer Iowa summer sunset, a collection of old barns and farms shot on a six hour trip down to Kansas city, including the covered bridges of Madison county, my time in Kansas City with Meghan Ziekel, and other odds and ends.  Thanks for stopping by!
