We went camping this week with two of our granddaughters for some fun and fishing. The first night we were greeted to a beautiful rainbow.

Shortly after sunset with the light of the setting moon over the lake the girls had a blast playing hide and seek amongst the shadows of the trees. There was lots of laughter. So much so that I thought they would wake other campers but there weren’t any close by our site. 

The aurora was just coming out as they went to bed. We could see it on my camera but not in the sky. About 1:00 AM the sky came alive with Northern Lights. Between the weather and the aurora, we couldn’t have picked better days to camp. Many memories were created.
