Camping.

We had such a fun fourth of July! We didn't expect to have this much fun... and were so thrilled when we were invited to go on a last minute camping trip with some friends. These are some of our best friends out here... we are so blessed to have made such amazing friends! (I know I say that every time I mention them on here... but it's true!) Left to Right (by family): The Wildes, the Wests, the Walkers, the Arnows and the Whites. We had so much fun! At night it was funny to listen to all the different kids cry. We didn't get very much sleep that night!

Gracie was in heaven when she saw her Jackson! These two are the most fun to watch. I have never seen two kids so in love with each other. They play SO well together! They're really mischievous sometimes though, so we have to keep an eye on them!

I thought for sure that Jackson and Chauncey were going to catch themselves or something on fire before the trip ended... they had SO much fun with the fire!

Shaelee and Kyla... When we told Lincoln they were coming he got SO excited! He loves his girlfriends!

The scenery was breathtaking... We were secluded from most of the other sites so that made it even more fun.

Anyone who has a toddler knows this song... "Buzz, Buzz, Zoopals. ... Ribbit, Ribbit... Zoopals... Quack, Quack.. Zoopals... Zoopals making eating fun! ZOOPALS!" The kids begged and pleaded to get some for them... They really did making the eating more fun!

Gracie loved lounging out in her new chair! It was just her size and her favorite color!

The food tasted so good... we were all starving after setting all the tents up and getting all organized.

Jeremy was the only one brave enough to cook his burger over the fire. It turned out amazingly well!

Okay... so the picture is blurry... but it captured the moment. All of the adults were around the campfire and we look over at all of our giggling kids and they playing with all of the bugs that were attracted to the light! It was SO nasty!

Graham was in heaven... so many rocks, dirt and sticks to eat! Yummy!

We were all chilling and turned and found all the kids lined up in a row like this. It was so cute!

The girlies. We always have way too much fun when we get together. I love these girls so much!

The boys had so much fun sitting around the campfire chatting... about what of all things? Dentistry.

Aren't our children SO adorable? They're all so cute!

There were two shots of this one... one with Jonathan and one without... I just love this one. Thanks for such a fun time guys! We can't wait to do it again!
