When planning our summer vacation, we decided "glamping" (aka, glamor camping) was our best option. Instead of a campsite, we stayed with our friends and with the Hoffmans....and had the use of electricity, air conditioning, and regular stoves :) Kevin and the girls slept in the tent, I was inside with Peter.
Here are some pictures from our week away!
9th Annual Camping Trip :)
Peter hanging with the girls...the lone boy!
Picnic grove behind the house!
"glamping" includes watching Frozen videos online :)
So happy to have a pool to stay cool
and AC to keep the little kids (and their moms) cool. Can't even tell Heather is 38 weeks pregnant, can you?
A little back-yard kick ball
Braving thunderstorms in the camper!
We took a "hike"...which was really a walk on a gravel path, only to find out the path was closed due to some target practice. :) These girls were ready for anything (binoculars, hats, sunglasses)
Two other families joined us for dinner one night -- 12 kids between the four families! It was fun :) a little wild, but fun :)
The second half of our week was spent at the Hoffmans, also "glamping". We had a great time with Chelle, Tom, Mawna, Pap, Connor, Brooke, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Laura!!
Babies!
Thursday was boating day -- these three are ready to go!
What's the difference between this picture:
and this one:
Poor Pap! the motor broke and the rowing started. Uncle Bill came to the rescue with some kayaks, which were easier to paddle!!
Little campfire with some banjo :) It has 6 strings, but I think it's still called a banjo :)
Friday was a pool day -- check out these bathing beauties (Brooke looks a little confused about being at the pool...)
Peter was also confused about being in a pair of swim trunks, that were long enough to be pants, and a non-breathable-swim-shirt, and a hat. Silly mom made him sweat....he was soon changed back into the onesie, and kept in the shade!
Thursday night the ladies had the chance to get pedicures....Then, Aunt Laura provided some polish for April and Chloe...they were just a little happy :)
Saturday was...a blur....Kevin and Chelle woke up sick, but the rest of us were fine....Uncle Bill met Mawna and Pap at the park with the big kids, while the babies and Moms stayed back....we met up for lunch, then rested in the afternoon.
A birthday party was had for dinner, and then we snapped this family shot:
I love this crazy family of mine!! :)
