Cabin week

Cari's always loved roasting marshmallows and it looks like Meghan is following in her footsteps!!


I can't tell if Lydia is having any fun, but look at the perfect
'mallows!



The kids loved sitting up on this big rock and getting their picture taken!






Just look how tired these two little boys look after a long day of play - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -




Everybody loved roasting marshmallows. Some of them are VERY serious about getting them done just right! I can't believe we didn't get a picture of Jana roasting marshmallows. We got everybody else! Probably have video though. We had a lot of fun singing around the campfire, too!


I don't know if Rachel was trying to slow him down or if she just wanted to hug somebody. Ryan loved throwing the Frisbees all over. I don't think we could find them to bring home. Probably up in a tree somewhere!! Xen and Matthew came up for a little bit on Saturday and threw them around too. It's so fun to watch the kids do outside stuff. I think Jay had to retrieve one of the golfball game things out of a tree, too!






If you look really close, you will see that Meleah is smiling! She is a little hard to catch with a smile. She wants to be as big as all the other kids. Lydia was a happy camper. She loved being outside!







We had so much fun! Not much sickness this time! Olivia was sick for a day, but no one else picked it up. All the kids loved going up and down the mountain and playing in the stream. The older ones loved the hikes and playing card games together and reading. I just loved the lack of TV and video games. Here are a few pictures I took.

Great Post mom! As a general rule, I'd say that cabin no-makeup pictures are off limits for such public blogs, but for the sake of documenting the fun week, I'll swallow my pride and commend you for taking pictures at the cabin! I just wish I'd have placed Ryan in a way that covered my face as well as my Girls Camp shirt :) I'm just kidding, mom! You're really getting good at this blogging thing! Love ya!

I second Candice's comment! :) WOW... I don't think I could've looked more horrible if I'd tried, but yeah it does show how much fun we had!! And I'm with my adorable smiling girl Meleah, so that definitely helps out quite a bit! :) Anyway... Good post! I love it!!
