Pictures from Camp

Bethany and Jared are here visiting and we are having a great time. It has been a little crazy going back and forth between camp and home, but we are making the best of it. Nana had a great visit with us. The girls loved hanging out with her. We spent the days hanging with all the kids, boating, playing on the beach or playing in the yard. Nana kept commenting that camp is so much fun. I always say that you can't help but relax and live in the moment (no cell coverage, no TV and no internet...just playing and having fun). We missed Nana right away after she left...Jimmy and I are running around like crazy people after 4 kids! So much fun!

Sydney found some more creatures at camp. She calls them "lizards." Close enough. I don't correct her. Jared and I finally convinced her to send them back outside. We saved their lives, those poor little creatures. She loves them so much, but doesn't understand that she has to let them go. We finally found the trick for getting them back home to the great outdoors. Good job Jared!!!
Bethany was a little freaked out that I let Sydy hold the critters.

Sydney loves Bethany and Jared. She especially loves the attention they give her. Bethany fixed her hair for our boat ride.

Somebody loves the the water...and the sand. We have had so much fun playing at the lake. The particular bay that we visit right near our bay, has a great sandy beach area.

Crazy kids! The kids have been having a lot of fun at camp. They love the boat rides and Bethany is an major fan of tube rides. Uncle Jimmy sent her flying off of the tube a few times. Most of the time she hung on...even when he tried to dump her in the water!

I love her expression in this photo. She was watching one of her friends.

This is what camp does to our kids...see the exhaustion on their faces? Tired babies.

My little Soybean loves the water and sand so much. She was having a good time on this particular night. No, we did not get a black lab (in the background). That is our neighbor's dog, Parker. The girls love him. He often comes to our house for a visit and Sydney follows him everywhere. She gets sad when we send him home.

Jumping fool! She climbs on the chair all by herself. I yap at her to sit down and she does so and then laughs!

Many more photos and stories to come....stayed tuned for the story of Jared driving the golf cart into the porch beam!
