Happy Campers

                      Setting up camp. . . and then we were off to the beach!

I grew up camping a lot, and was so excited when we arrived at our cabin (my type of camping)!  It's so relaxing, peaceful and beautiful soaking up God's creations!

There was plenty of fun in the sand. . .

and the big kids loved going out to the buoys with daddy. . .

GooF had fun snapping photos of me ;)

Gramma and Grampa came out and took the kids on a boat ride. . .
Ryker got a little ride, and then spent time with daddy, learning important lessons about breaking wood for the campfire. . .

Porter got the sickness that the other kids had the week before, and he couldn't swallow any of this yummy food. . thus, a trip to the nearby clinic for med, and a stop for malts.

Visiting beach number 2 or 3 :)

Fun with fire and sticks. . .

Fun with her bitty baby. . .

Heading back to one of our fav beaches. . .

It had a big hill, great for huge leaps. . .

The kids (and their daddy) had a blast jumping, tumbling, cartwheeling, scooting, rolling down it :)

GooF got a hold of the camera again and took some more pics of his bride ;)  After teasing about his not very big fire, he built me one so hot I couldnt get near it for roasting ;)

Cracking up over Ryker eating a dirty, cold, hot dog. . .

The mom relaxing at the park. . .

and wondering when her kids got so big?!  Wish you would have felt better Porter man :(

And then it was back to the beach.  See a pattern here?  We spent the majority of the time in the sand and water.  We were there at 8:20 am one morning :)

Thankful for a few days of fun, family togetherness and lots of laughs!

I have many more photos of these happy campers, but there's packing for church camp to do. . .thank you God for the many blessings in our life!
