Family Camping

Well after the trip to Florida we spent 10 days at the camper. We had great fun as you can see!

At the beginning of the first weekend we were joined by my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dave, and my cousin Marc and his daughter Sarah came along. They stayed in the new cabins, as you can see Sarah and Conner enjoyed playing in the loft of the cabin.

Even though we go to the camper to relax, it seems that there is always something to be done. We needed a new picnic table, so the boys all got to take part in building one!

So, the picnic table is now 8 foot long... they did a great job!

Conner wanted Poppy to take him to the mini golf everyday! Garrett spent most of his time riding bike, and competing in the Olympics.

One of everyone's favorite events is the tire roll. Conner rolled it three times further than anyone else in his age group.

Even Nanny Brenda got in on the tire roll after getting advice from Conner on what to do.

Emily had a great time, she spent the week with Craig and Nanny.

We got an obnoxious amount of medals during the week, it seemed that the age groups we competed in did not have very many participants. The boys kept their medals, but mine and Dan's are off to Florida to be donated to the special olympics. Here the boys display the medals they received in the tire roll competition.

Garrett loved the pool events, here he shoots for the hoop in the tube basketball competition.

He won the silver medal!

Gavin is GROWING!

Look how big...two months and almost 12 pounds

I think he is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen... of course I am a little biased! I also thought the same of his brother, uncle and mother!

2 Weeks in the SUN!

Well we left for Florida with my cousin Amy and her kids two days after school was out. It only took us about 15 hours to drive to Flordia from Lancaster. I believe that was pretty good time, but Amy said we were just motivated since we were traveling with four children, two - 3 year olds a 2 year old and a 10 year old! Amy drove most of the way, I drove the last two - three hours!

This is what I think is the BEST picture I took on the trip! It was the first full day we were in Florida on the dock at the Villages. The boys were being angels, and it didn't hurt that there was an alligator swimming in the water around the dock to hold their attention!

This picture is the boys the morning we went to Disney World. Amy got everyone matching shirts in an attempt not to loose any of them. It was a LONG, HOT day! The temperatures while we were in Florida were the hottest temperatures they have had in 3 years. But to see Mickey Mouse the kids were willing to endure anything.

This was at the character breakfast at Ohanas. We ate with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch. The food was great as was the atmosphere. Mickey was the first to arrive so Conner was in heaven!

Well there are plenty of more pictures to come....stay tuned...
