I can hardly believe that it was the 5th Annual Camping trip with the Deterdings! Makes me feel old :)
Here we are in 2006:
Here we are in 2010:
Not only have the families expanded, the campsite set-up has too!
We met up with our fellow campers on Friday evening at Codorus State Park and had smudgie pies for dinner ... and Heather brought birthday cupcakes to celebrate Kevin and my birthdays. We even had candles!
Thank goodness for a neighboring camper who knew about a pool - the one at the campground was closed for repairs! We headed to a nearby town's local pool on Saturday afternoon and stayed for a while. Chloe enjoyed the water...but when she started drinking it, we headed back to the chairs for juice:
Steve and Kevin wowed the crowd with their big splash tricks:
Heather said something on Saturday about how it was a bit busy with all the kiddos. We will enjoy each trip, but as soon as these girls can ride bikes, we'll probably only see them when it's time to eat! We did have Grace's help with the dishes:
On Sunday, after lunch, we made s'mores. It was just too hot the night before to make a campfire. Leah enjoyed hers:
I used a strawberry marshmallow for mine:
...and Chloe enjoyed her "s'more" (only a graham cracker for her this year!)
Deterdings ~ we had a lot of fun, even though it was hot. Can't wait to plan next year's trip!

..and yes, we are anticipating the day when we can read our magazines while the kids ride bikes all day long!
..and do the dishes for us.
