8-14-2011 Week in Review

Okay, this is going to be a LONG {very long} post!!  This week my brother and his family flew in from Utah so we could have FAMILY CAMP!!  Let me start off by saying…it was HOT…and HUMID.  SOME of us are used to it…SOME of us were NOT!  But…we survived and had a ton of fun!!

Here’s Monday…it was over 100 degrees out!  We spent most of the day settling in and getting in front of a FAN!  Ella had to go to school most of the day…sigh…but she had a blast once she got to camp!  {Photos by myself, my sister Tam, and my brother, Jason!}

Tuesday started out a little cooler!  Yummy breakfast…

…hangin’ at the pier and riding in the boat!!

Uncle Ryan had them all in stitches pretending to fall down every time one of them gave him a walking stick they found!

Here’s 10 out of the 13 grandkids with Grandma Great!

We went on a nature hunt!

Pool time!

Then there were water games!

Time for indoor games!!

Wednesday

Time to Catch Your Breakfast!!

…and some Fishing!!

Then…just as I followed the cute girls up the hill…Corben caught the first fish!!  Then Dom caught one, too!

Pool time!

How most of us would describe the way we slept!

AND…just because I couldn’t help it…

Then there were prayer rocks!

…and an early birthday party!

Talent Show time!

Thursday was pack up and clean up day!  Corben got in one more fishing trip with my brother before we left and he caught…TEN FISH!!  I know, right?  He was SO excited!  What an amazing week!!

We actually got Ella home in time to go late to school.  I even got almost everything put away from our trip! Go me! (the boys where a huge help!)

Friday was recover day and time for me to make good on my deal with Corben and his great friend!  They were good all summer at church (and when they weren’t they apologized) so they earned an all expenses paid trip to a local arcade to play laser tag, go carts, golf, and tons of video games!  We had a GREAT time in our 4 hours there! (I did a TON of reading while they played– lol)

Saturday I went to take pictures for a friend and spent the rest of the weekend trying to catch up from all I missed getting done this week!
