7th Annual

We went on our 7th Annual Camping Trip with the Deterdings! How fun to have 5 little girls at your campsite ;)


Here are some pictures, in no particular order, from our weekend:

Avery and April take a bath!



Miss Heather in a very natural pose:
 

This is what happens when you fall down too much...by the last day, your mother has no "outfits" left, and you must wear this....




The "Big Girls" waiting for the campfire:



Mr. Steve and Daddy got to play some catch...and Chloe & Leah joined them.  These next three photos show you Chloe's skills:

1. Glove is out, ready to catch the baseball...


2.  Couldn't catch it....


3. But she can throw! Do you see that follow-through!?




Saturday morning it was wet from all the rain we had overnight, but that didn't stop the Big Girls from planning a hike with their Daddy's. Backpacks, snacks, a map, and binoculars were all taken along...and they did see some deer!


We were able to warm up enough to go swimming on Saturday afternoon.  Leah and Chloe were loving jumping in:







Heather and I used the Little Girls' nap time to have a chance to talk to each other ~ something that wasn't happening any other time ;)  In the midst of it all, sometimes it seems a little crazy to go camping with 5 children 5 and under, but memories are made & we're already looking forward to next year!  (Although, there was talk of bringing a babysitter ;) )
