We had a wonderful camping trip to Millerton Lake, which is about 20 miles north of Fresno. Sun was hot. So what? The water was cool. Kids enjoyed the trip more than anybody. It was a co-incidence that we had two pairs of twins - Aditi and Ananya, and Tejas and Varchas - attending the camp. The pictures tell the happy story of the trip.
