a camping we will go

Can you fit eight jumbo mallows in your mouth and still say "chubby bunny"? Lee, Amanda, and Laura can!

Ice cream making fun.





It wouldn't be camping without a little dirt =)

Four wheeling at its best.

We had a really great time at the campout. It is so nice to be in the mountains with the rain and cooler weather and to just be. The kids had a super time playing with cousins. I was touched by what a nice, good family we have. It is easy to take for granted how blessed we are because of good parents and grand parents. It's amazing. Thanks Mom & Dad! We love you.

2008 Family Campout Fun

We had a cool (and wet) time at the family campout last weekend. About 50 members of the family headed up to Long Valley to enjoy the cool weather and catch up with everyone. The little cousins played and played, had fun in the rain, got dirty - then muddy, painted t-shirts and rocks, roasted marshmallows, caught bugs & butterflies, hiked and glided down the Rigg's zipline.

The older cousins visited, played fun games, helped with the cooking, ate & laughed alot. The five schnauzers played and ate so much they slept right through the coyotes howling at night!
Thanks to all who came, brought food, helped set up & take down camp, cooked, washed dishes, organized crafts, activities and games, hauled equipment, reserved the camp (and don't forget the j-johns).

Too bad the temperature was 35 degrees hotter when we got home :-( Here are some of the cute photos we took! Enjoy! (P.S. Please post your own photos, too)

WE LOVE YOU!
