Christmas Recap

Let me start by saying I did not have the time to bust out the camera. Since the kids were here, there, and everywhere.
Let me paint a picture for you. It was a sea of tents and camp chairs. The Piccolo's had a tent (4 in that one). Krys, Matt, Becca and Liz had theirs, Kerry and Fred and Darla (cute little pup) had a tent, actually more like a suite nice set up guys! Then we had our little villa of tents towards the back of the site. Actually I think we all took up about 6 sites. In the center was the fire ring (thankfully fires only after 5.) Surrounding that were camp chairs of every size, make and model. There were kiddie chairs, rockers, and a love seat. Hidden in the back behind the tented community was a jumping house, like you would see at carnivals. The kids...and Auntie Kerry had a blast.
From these pictures you can see the babies (Edie and Sofia) loved their Dora riding cars. Sofia your doing a great job walking! Ethan enjoyed playing with his cousins. Jen Nick and Trevor came up and added to the summer time fun. Aubrey and Reagan teamed up with squirting water toys to go after Ethan. He was a trooper, in the end everyone was soaked and belly laughing




Here is daredevil Sofia, testing the limits of her new ride. The kids had a blast. They were free range for most of the weekend with the freedom to explore and always be with in view. No-one wandered off, and everyone stuck close to camp. The twins went in a pool for the first time, again no fear, they loved it. They each took turns floating around with Daddy and I got a chance to visit with Dani and Jen. Mom you have those photos, cant wait to see them.
We returned to camp to dry off and fill our tummies with dinner.




Aubrey was very serious in this picture.
The kids all got special cars and other assorted goodies. They were the entertainment for most of the day and into the early evening. Thank you everyone for helping us with them. Utterly exhausted by the end of the night each tent settled down and the delightful sounds of sleep filled the clear night air. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. I told the twins stories of princesses and tall castles and (eventually) they drifted off to sleep. She opened one eye and asked if we sleeping under the stars.
