1st Camping Trip: Book Club @ L. Chabot

This weekend I went on my first ever camping trip, to Lake Chabot on the border between Oakland and Castro Valley. In preparation we bought and tested out a new family-size tent

with lots of room to play inside. It was great fun getting messy, while being serenaded by Robert's newest song, "Applesauce." My friend Dominic really scored big - he got to eat cookies for breakfast. I think it is because the only coffee available was made by his dad in a frying pan, strained with a paper bag and then decanted with a red plastic cup.
