Cochran camping trip, August 2010

At the beginning of August the entire Cochran clan went camping for a weekend at the church owned property in western Colorado.  My parents, all nine siblings, and our spouses and kids totaled 28 people and we had a lot of fun.  I didn't take a ton of pictures while we were there, and I still have to get the group pictures from my dad, but here are a few that I took.

We attempted to go fishing at one of the lakes.  It was a flop because no fish were biting, and only a few minutes after we got the poles out it started raining and thundering so we had to head back to camp.  But, the boys were able to catch some snakes during the short time that we were there.  Let me apologize in advance to Grandma Alder for showing this picture of Katie (Grandma hates snakes).

 How we transported most of the group to and from the lake.  You can see the thunderclouds in the background that we were trying to escape.

 Cailin and Morgan were buddies.  It was cute to watch them play together (and with Jack, the dog).

 Cool morning outside our cabin.  Daddy built a fire and the kids were using it to warm up because their irresponsible mother forgot their coats at home.

 and then she challenged me to do the same thing.

We had a great time at Ragged Mountain with my family and can't wait to do it again soon!
