Camping with the family



We went to Matt's grandparents campground to camp with the family. Hayden and Ethan came with us, and Mike, Katie and kids, and Guy and Lexi stayed overnight. Then the next morning, the rest of the family came up for lunch and visiting. We weren't sure how Camden would do, sleeping in a tent, but he was awesome! He didn't get to bed until ten or so, but went to sleep immediately after we put him in the sleeping bag. He woke up the next morning, when everyone else was getting up. He was so cute, when he woke up he wanted to "cuddle" with me in my sleeping bag. He talked and talked, and asked questions, and hugged me. The kids all had so much fun with their cousins. Dillon and Logan were so happy to have Hayden and Ethan there. They have missed them since they've been in Canada. Morgan, Ashley and Sydney slept in a tent together and had a great time! Among the kids favorite activities: smores, staying up late with cousins, and trying trap fish in a self-made dam. At one time, Camden crossed the bridge (Scary- rickety, missing planks, bridge) by himself. I was calling for him, couldn't find him anywhere, and finally he comes running down the mountain, across the bridge with his pants around his ankles. He said he needed to go to the bathroom, and went to the outhouse by himself. Let me tell you- I have had nightmares of having to rescue him from falling in the disgusting outhouse. SOOO glad everything turned out okay! :) We had a great time visiting with family, and roughing it with each other.
These boys only wanted to be goofy. I tried hard to get them to look decent in a picture- but they were having too much fun, to be serious and smile sweetly for me.
