Labor Day Campout

Over the Labor Day weekend we went camping with my whole family. Everyone but Keely was there (she went to Cali with her friends). It rained on us a couple of times, nothing too terrible though. The kids had a blast playing together and getting dirty. The rest of us enjoyed playing cards and other games, going on hikes, sitting around the campfire telling stories. And one night that Stacy wasn't feeling so well and spent a lot of time in the bathroom we wrote a song for her. It was quite humorous.Emily looking all stylish up camping.
Heidi and Nate brought up a miniature ping pong net and paddles. The boys enjoyed playing a couple of rounds against each other.We spent one afternoon up at Tony Grove Lake. The kids loved playing together in the nice cold water. They were all soaking wet by the time we headed back to camp.While we were up at the lake we found a couple of snakes. My dad was holding one of them and Allie walked up to him with her hands out and asked "Grandpa, can I hold the snake?" So she did. She wasn't scared at all. All the other girls were though.
Josh was such a great little camper. He was so happy the whole time, he loves being outside.Josh enjoyed chillin' with Grandpa near the campfire.Allie was reading One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish out loud while a bunch of us played cards. It was so cute to hear her as she read her own version of the story.

What a great weekend we had together.
