We went camping with the Morgans and Thompsons again this year (and the Andersons who we met for the first time once we go there). It's been two years since our last camping adventure as multi families. The kids are all now at a much easier age. Plus if you climb a tree to install a rope swing they are super easily entertained.
This was the first thing set up at camp.
Kate, Chloe and Addison- the cutest three amigos ever
Father and Son-their super ecstatic happy faces
Abby and Emma
Kate and Abram toom a DVD break at one point. It didn't last long and they were all back out playing in the dirt shortly after
Emma in heaven with hot chocolate
It always amuses me how happy Addison is out in the dirt or on the beach
Kids around the campfire
It was COLD there at night. But beautiful during the day
Ralph and baby Lucas. This was the quietest and easiest baby I have ever seen.
Nathan lived on the swing
Kate and Chloe sword fighting
Bailey tending the fire.
My kids LOVE the beach. It is the one place they all have something to do and will entertain themselves for hours. Our campground was just above the beach so it was a short stair descent at any time.
The kids all dug for sand crabs
Madelyn buried in the sand
So Jennifer has these naturally buff arms that always amaze me. I think it's because she used to break dance:)
Tana getting some sun. Apparently she didn't want her face on camera
The Emmas
Jane
So let me explain...
At first glance this picture looks way inappropriate. However, let me explain. After breakfast one morning, we found this baby on the table with a sausage lying next to her. It looked as though some kid had tried to get out of eating it by giving it to the baby doll. So we decided to take a picture. But it looked funnier to us if the baby was actually holding it. Hence the hairband....But you probably had to be there to find it funny so oh well:)
I had no idea how Addison remembered to pack her sunglasses. But she wore them around almost the whole time.
The kids went on a treasure hunt that ended in candy and eating it kept them busy for a while.
Every year I get a picture of Jarrod sleeping in a chair...
The girls started a "Handsome Salon" to do the boys hair
Checking to make sure the girls didn't make them look silly
I didn't get any pictures of the Boardwalk, but that might be for the best. We'll just erase that craziness from our trip memory. We are looking forward to next year!
