Family Camping Week

Last week we packed up the van, camper and car top carrier and headed to CranHill for our annual week long camping adventure. We were breaking at the seams! The week was fabulous and went by way too fast. The weather was great. A HUGE storm came Tuesday night and I was so thankful Torrey was there to help get things covered and the like and both boys slept through it all! We had really hot and humid weather perfect for the beach, a little drizzle, clouds and just right days. So a little of everything to keep activities new and fun. All the cousins got along so well, food was in abundance and yummy(why when you are camping do you, or I , feel like you need to snack ALL day?!) and there was actually some time for relaxation! Each summer there keeps getting easier and easier. So here are just a few of the pictures taken throughout the week. We took almost 200! Every year I see myself looking at the same kind of pictures but with bigger kids...bunnies, ponies, ice cream, fires, smores, tie-dye, baths, beach...we do it all!

Morning coffee with Grandma. For some reason we got in the habit of waking up, having something sweet like homemade bread, ginormous muffins or cinnamon rolls with coffee before having breakfast.
(Just so you know the cup was empty..almost!)

Fishing almost everyday. We learned quickly that we will be needing another fishing pole for our next visit. Fighting on the dock over whose turn it is leads to some almost kids in the water moments.

A little rain can't stop him!

Watching over the captured turtles. These little friends provide quite the entertainment!

A new favorite of Cameron's is the skate park. He is getting braver going up and down the ramps and is so proud of his 2 inch jumps he can now do!

A fun water balloon fight. Is this not a great action shot of Cameron nailing unsuspecting Grandpa or what?!

Cameron was so much braver in the water! He loved jumping off the dock and even figured out how to do little front flips off of it. He tried a few times to catch a ball while jumping, but then wanted to go back to just jumping ;)

Silly boys!

And oh the ice cream! A different flavor every day! Why does ice cream from your own home town taste so much better when you are away?

And the smores! Finger licking good!

Doesn't this make you want to have one right now?!
So many great memories made and we already can't wait until next year!
