ATV Time
The kids (I include Cody in that) were riding as soon as we got there
Taylor and Mason
These three boys were doing this together almost non-stop

Mason didn't even stop to eat. That's a blueberry muffin in his hand!

Anytime Mason disappeared all we had to do was walk over to the ATV's and there he was!

(Gavin just saw this and said "Ewww")
Kenny pulled all of us on the tube. The first time I wrecked my shorts
ended up around my left ankle, my swimsuit bottoms were almost to my
knees and the tube ended up out of the canvas, but I still went for a
second ride and kept thinking how I should've been a nicer big sister
growing up!
Cody's turn
He did 3 barrel rolls before landing in the water when he wrecked
Mommy & G-Man
Hang on Paul!
Look really close, Paul is still hanging on with his right hand!
My dad took my cousin Garet for a ride. The tube flipped over bounced on the water 3-4 times and then rolled back over (a complete 360) and Garet was still hanging on!! I wish we would've caught that one on tape!!

Camel Races (Pinewood Derby)
I didn't get a car bought and made this year either, but mom had and extra car (saved the day again) so Cody and Gavin made a camel car really quick 5 min before the races. Gavin was excited to be able to race, but sad because he didn't win any of them. I need to get my butt in gear and start getting things ready for next year so we are actually ready!
The cars for the camel races
Chet did an awesome job making his car look like a real camel

The Annual Auction
This is one of the quilts my mom made
My grandma (who passed away last year) made these plaques from her 4 leaf clover plant that she had. Grandpa put them in the auction this year so we could have a part of grandma.
Wildlife
We had moose wonder into our campground
This is as close as we got to be safe. There is a moose on the left and on the right.
Gavin with his two catapillars
Mason & I went for a ride and he saw this deer before I did.
Faith & Kenny's catch
We cooked them up and ate them that night, yummy!
We also had paint-balling, kid Olympics, late late nights talking and laughing by the fire as well as lots of yummy food. Lots of memories get made in a very short amount of time during this week!

I take a family shot on the last day of camp every year and they all moan and groan every year when I make them do this, but one of these days they are going to be glad that I made them do this!
