Family Campout 2011 ~ Part 1

A totally awesome thing happened this summer, most of my side

of the family gathered together for the first time in a long time

for a family campout!! Brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins,

grandparents, grandkids...it was amazing!! We were missing a few

that couldn't come (Tim & Dulcey and their kids, Heather, 

and Caitlin, John & Pedro), And the best part??? We are already

planning next year's campout so everyone can

make vacation plans so they can be there!!

God is so Good!

Campsite Day 1

Simeon, Hannah and the boys arrived first, then Mike, me,

Aubrey and her girls arrived later that day

(Billy would be coming the next day).

Hannah, Aubrey & S

biked down to put up a sign for the rest of the family

to let them know where the group site was...

it was a bit hard to find!

N, O, and E also rode down

the kids all enjoyed riding their bikes this weekend!
