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!

2006:

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 :)

..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. :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
