CAMPED OUT: Time to play catch up on some scenes from camp, where Christian and the kids were last week. 

One of the most entertaining and memorable parts of camp is always 'biscuit' riding, also known as being towed behind the Party Barge while riding inflatables.

You can see from the smiles they had big fun!

 There was also time to lounge on the unicorn and other inflatables. 

 And back on land, a jigsaw puzzle was one way to pass some time.

Here's how CJ explains the excursion. 

It is an annual tradition on my father's side of the family to visit the Baker Bay Campgrounds in Lane County, Oregon for about one week in July. The Baker Bay Campgrounds are run by the Lane County government, and cost $24 a day to rent a campsite out, according to my father.

At Baker Bay, you don't have internet access or smartphone service most of the time. This, for better and worse, means being cut-off from the outside world. However, at the end of each day, my father was able to call my mother using his work phone. The highlight of the trip was going "biscuiting" (riding on inflatable intertubes in the water, while being pulled by a boat) in Dorena, which often resulted in crashing in the water.

Lastly, visits to Baker Bay mean eating all sorts of junk that's perceived a bit differently at home. This included a healthy diet of Doritos and Goldfish.

What's not to love about that?
