Camping

Stephen took off a week from the church, so we headed up to Michigan to spend some time with my family, and to also take part in our annual "camping in the middle of no where with no electricity or showers" during Memorial Day weekend with my mom's side of the family.

Here are some pictures:

The big tree in my parent's yard


Damaris being cute


Both of the kids...


Damaris fell on the asphalt...the picture really doesn't do it justice...she was pretty swollen and black and blue, but we put stuff on it right away, so that helped!


We drove to the mall and let the kids ride on the carousel. It was a first for both of them, and they seemed to love it. Damaris screamed when I took her off :)

Then we headed up to the woods, literally in the middle of nowhere, and camped for the weekend with my family, as is tradition...

It still amazes me that my grandpa is so healthy...I mean, how many people can say that their grandpa in their 90's (94?) can still play softball??? He also pulled their trailer up there, went and hauled trees in for our campfire, and cut it up with his chainsaw. WOW. I am so thankful!!!


Some of the girls coloring...and Damaris loved riding on Pete's shoulders and rubbing his head and Joshua's :)


Lovely, Jen... :)

Time for a Sunday afternoon nap...


Just hanging out...Hannah

Damaris...and Abby


Abby - who is two weeks younger than Titus.

I didn't really take many pictures when we were camping...Stephen took most of them. Which I was very thankful for because otherwise we wouldn't have had any! Obviously the pictures I posted here are not everyone that went :)

Overall, we had a fantastic time...the weather couldn't have been better, and even though we had a smaller group (24 of us), we still had a blast. But let me tell you, getting a shower on Monday when we got back felt WONDERFUL!

I look forward to next year!! :)
