Family Weekend

We finally found a weekend away, camping at the nearby Prineville Reservoir. Fishing at dusk with no luck, wading in the rapidly cooling reservoir, mud castles, swordfights in the grass under a forest of Juniper trees. Campfires, S’mores and Yahtzee by candlelight. Jaedon, groans like a man who bets and loses on the ponies, while the dice crackle in their plastic cup, “How about a Yahtzee, already?”
