Camping Bonko 2011

This year's Annual Camping Bonko didn't actually involve "camping" since not too many families could make it up this year; but, it did involve the cabin, the mountains, beautiful scenery & even more beautiful company! :} We attempted to have a 70's theme, despite some of us forgetting, not getting the memo, or simply leaving my Groovy 70's Costume home (darn!). But, Julie & Tina did their part & kept us entertained. We had our own Charlie's Angels (or maybe Carol Brady & Bob from the 70's Show :}).

  

 Jules took advantage of the down time. She's been a busy Grandma taking care of her two adorable grandsons!

Deanna has been a busy traveling girl, glad she could make it! Meanwhile Tina has now made sideburns out of the wig :}

Our Tiffers chillaxin'!

You're such a great sport Julie! :} You looked FABULOUS in that polyester jumpsuit! :}

Suz & Lara (and the rest of us) got plenty of great laughs in! :}

Char enjoying the R&R

Love my Suzy-Q!

Kathleen thought we meant 1870's...ha ha. She's so cute in her Bloomers! :}

It was a beautiful night & sunset!

...until this bird flew in....

...and got me! Ha Ha! :}

We survived Girl's Night & the relaxing morning after. Tina, Julie N. & I were looking forward to seeing our families later that day. I think the kids were more excited! We let Bradon stay home since he had a busy weekend planned with The Alvy's.The rest came full of energy! :}

 Crazy girls (just like their Mama's :})

Jennica & Tyler were excited to bring their new puppy, Molea Rose Nielson! :}

The were attempting to do a pyramid like my family loves to do :}

Instead they danced for us :}

 ...or just dragged their sister around! :}

....or just got downright silly! :}

Needless to say, we were entertained! :}

Then Mr. Comical decided to pull a little Michael Jackson on us

...or was it Erkle? :}

Silly Kids!

So, despite being advised to not post these pics...I just can't resist! Dylan thought he'd keep the entertainment going by putting on Kaley's clothes

That's our boy! :}

Since Tyler just looks up to Dylan (we tried warning him! :})...he had to join the fun by putting on his own sister's clothes!

Now Kaley is running off with Dylan's clothes....they are so easily entertained! :}

We had to do the traditional Crawdad fishing the next day. It was a beautiful summer day to be by the lake!

Dylan was the 1st to catch one

Hi Molea!

What a great tradition....love this time we get every year!! :}
