The Whole Famn Damily Goes Camping

Posted on August 8th, 2011 by Tonia 9 Comments

I married into a pretty swell bunch of folks. We had a great time together this weekend out in the woods. This here is what summer is all about!

Our niece is basically the cutest thing on the planet and a major source of entertainment for us all. The poor thing promptly received three mosquito bites on her forehead within about eight seconds of being outside, but she didn’t let that shake her delightful attitude one bit!

Ohhh. We ate well. Real well.

We played Mafia around the fire for hours. I learned this game from our friend Jared. Next time you’re in a big group, give it a try, it’s a real hoot.

Last but not least, the traditional group picture. Clearly, we are all made for each other…

And so we plunge into the last month of summer. In the next few weeks there will be time spent at the cabin with my side of the family, a friend’s wedding, backyard parties with friends, and lots and lots of garden-harvesting. Yay August!

  5. We (my husband & I, two 10 year old boys) have been preparing to leave on our first wilderness camping experience tomorrow afternoon. So, I hopped online to check out a few of my favorite blogs before disconnecting & found that the theme for each was camping & travel. Talk about synchronicity! Your blog is a pleasurable experience each time I visit. Thank you!

    @GrowingChangingLife Have fun in the woods and good luck!! I’m sure the boys will do GREAT. Boys seem to be naturally at home in the wild. :) I’m be sending good camping vibes your way.
