5th Annual

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:

(Kevin has the same shirt on in both pictures!!!)

Not only have the families expanded, the campsite set-up has too!

2010:



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!


PS- Chloe made Heather's 365 blog! Click here to check it out :)

I'm glad one of us is on top of things and posted about the trip!! I'll get mine up eventually:) We always have so much fun with you!!

..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.

This looks like it was such a fun trip! It's amazing how much can happen in four years (like the addition of three beautiful little people!).

Super fun! You guys will have so many memories after all those years of camping together. Hope the sleeping went well, too. :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
