Camping Weekend Part 2...

So, as I mentioned previously...many of the families were able to come up for some more camping fun. Unfortunately it was a busy weekend for many; but, we're always glad for those that can join us! How fast our families our growing..it's crazy!! The kids especially enjoy getting together..we wish we could get them together more often than we do; but, life does get busy, so we take advantage of this opportunity each year! I love it!

Aleah showing us something up the stream
Jacen with Alex & Jackson
Brett & their dog getting some play time
It was awesome to have Bubba join us too. So good to see him up & at 'em again...he's had a rough road of illness. We hear he's now eligible for the kidney transplant list...yea!
Tina & Jules
"The Dylans" (Angel & Devil Dylan...can you guess which one is which? :})
Cute lil' Alexis
Cooper
Bradon hurrying out of the water after seeing all the spiders by the tree
My crazy boys!
Doug was able to stop by on his way from a job up that way. Unfortunately it was a very busy weekend for him with work so he wasn't able to stay. He was there long enough to remind the boys about not going out into the fast flowing stream (I tried to tell them myselfs..really!)
"Oh Dad, c'mon!!"
Dylan trying to tell him why it's ok to go back in (despite all ready having a scare that morning of him getting stuck on the other side & me having to go in to save him..he forgets fast!)
Chris, MaryAnn & Suz getting more chat time
Getting in a game of cardsBradon taking his turn with the Bebe Gun (that would be Jacen's..the boys loved that!)
Then it was Dylan's turn (that's scary!) Dylan messin' with me (as usual!)
The boys sitting by the campfire
Ms. Kaley modeling her "Sweatshirt Dress"Dylan seeing how many marshmellows he can stuff in his mouth at once (I believe that was 5)
Jackson...the typical boy covered in dirt! I loved the "warrier stripes" down his eyes!
OK, this was just too cute not to catch. These two, Kaley & Cooper, were just hanging out there on the hammock for a while. I think she has a new crush!! :}
"Yea, that's right...back at ya!"

What great memories and a fun tradition! Nothing better than great friends! That's definitely something I admire about you, your true love for friendship, and your ability to create many opportunities to be with them. I need to be more like you! It looks like you had a creat time. My vote is that your Dylan is the Angel (alright, just trying to be more optimistic - in his Aunts eyes, he is such a fun, cute kid!).

What a nice weekend. I'm glad you were able to rescue Dylan from the other side of the stream! It's fun to see the pictures of everyone.
