Then after Eric got off work, we picked the motorcycle up from Mom & Alan's house and rushed home to pack for camping. I added Eric to the insurance today, and he raised it from $148 to $300/year (almost $100 of that because of his speeding ticket in August). We packed my car with the camping gear, and then we drove out to Clinton Lake separately so he could ride the bike.
It was an interesting night - cooking and conversations around the fire, partially clothed swim in the lake (others were in various stages of dress, Eric and I remained clothed!), and the annual burning of confidential school documents! This was a really fun event with Steven and Leslie last year, and this year our crowd was kind of a buzz kill about it. The burn didn't exactly go smoothly, and instead of having fun with it, they just called us various names and moved to the other fire pit. Lame x a really big number. We headed to bed, and spent some time looking at the starts and using a sky map app to help us find constellations - very cool.
