ANOTHER Camping Trip - With Guests

My friend Sara has never been camping before so we decided to plan a trip with friends.  Her husband Josh, and little boy, Matthew, joined us up the canyon by the lake.  This time we planned ahead and got a nice spot.  The kids brought bikes and rode around and explored.  The terrifying story of the trip:  the girls went off with Josh and Matthew to play, and then rode off on their bikes.  We were preparing the dinner for that night, and setting up camp.  After some time, we realized that we had not heard from the girls in awhile.  I thought they were still off playing with Josh and Matthew.  However, they had wandered down a path to some big rocks by the lake.  After circling the campsites and calling their names dozens of times, a very panicked mommy finally decided to contact the park ranger to search for the missing girls.  We drove to the other side of the lake for help, and by the time we came back, Josh had saved the day and found them by the rocks.  Mom was SO worried about the girls, and SO relieved to see their sweet faces when we returned.  No more wandering off and scaring mom!!  It was the worst, scariest feeling ever.
Anyway, here are some photos from our camping trip:
