Goin’ Campin’, Goin’ Campin’

Our annual family camping trip was last weekend.  It was really odd—we had sun and warm temperatures almost the entire weekend.  I almost didn’t recognize my siblings in shorts and sunglasses.

We spent a lot of time at the lake.  Piper and Kyla, wearing their floating vests (not really life vests), swam all the way out to the outer limits.  And, thankfully, back again.

The bobbing heads in the back are Uncle Brian and Kyla.  Kyla kept vacillating between being Brian’s Girl and Sandi’s Girl.  Brian, very generously, did a lot of swimming with her.

Wesley loves to run, splash, sit, and “swim” in the water.  He seems to have enough sense to not go out past his neck, but I wasn’t going to bet on the common sense of a 2-year-old.

I love the love on Dwayne’s face as he plays with Piper.

And I love the look on this face, too.

I love this shot of Keith throwing Parker up!

It’s  a toss-up when it comes to deciding which kid is most fearless, Kyla, Piper, or Wesley.  Another way of looking at it is which kid has the most common sense.  Parker wins.

We had the best campsite—lots of trees, paths, logs.  Piper discovered she could climb this snag first, so Kyla just had to do it faster.

We celebrated three birthdays (Kyla, Parker, and Dwayne’s).  The birthday girl got some loot!

And Julie made Oreo cupcakes.

And then we all went home, cleaned up, and fell asleep.  The End.
