Oh, I forgot to add the Gaga ball pictures!

We always have a talent night at Camp.  Here is Jonathon and Brandon who sang with a few folks at the piano. 

                                              The dads skit was a HOOT!  They did great!

AND then there was GAGA ball.  The night photo was the kids playing by car light till late into the evening.  Moms and Dads were cheering them on too!  Such a special memory.

And then....our family photo.  The goofiness is still there--Devon is showing us his muscle.  What a great week for all of us! 

 

The PHOTO Booth

We were at camp with some of our favorite people!  AND the camp added a photo booth!  It was a blast!  There were so many great props.  The first one to dive in was Becca.  She had walked down to our rooms and stopped.  When I was driving down, she was on the bench dressed in a costume waiting for us.  We cracked up--that girl has so much spunk.  We all jumped out ran for the other things and ended up having a total blast.  We were then joined by our friends the Winslow's which are all pictured above.  Such special memories of a super fun day!

                                     This is us...in all of our glory!  Such silly and fun times!

                      It was fun to see the littles and the bigs just hamming it up with one another!

                                                            Have to say...this is us! 
 

Family Camp

 Oh WOW!  Want to get our kids excited about going somewhere?  Just mention family camp at Camp Maranatha in New Durham, NH!

So many great things to include swimming in the pond, hanging out with great friends, playing games, listening to speakers...did I mention the great food?

                                                          Archery...so many fun things!

                                                            Darrell is an amazing shot!

                                                                More archery shooting

                                                            And then there are Nerf Wars

We also haul all of our nerf guns to camp and have a great battle at the summit!  It is so much fun...well, except for getting to pick all of the bullets up.  But, just about the time we are all finished picking up, the battle ensues again!  It is GREAT fun!

Joe shooting and below he is making great use of the empty seltzer boxes for shoes!  We shot at the seltzer cans and they exploded when we hit them-such a great effect!

                                                           Lots of game playing

 

Go Ben!

Valentine's Day

In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought I would kick off a new season here and catch up on the happenings of our family....

Just this past weekend, we joined some friends for some cookie decorating...it was fun and my sweet friend even made it THM friendly for me!  So, even I got to slather on some special frosting on my cookie and eat it before lunch!  Yum!

It has been an especially busy season and we were happy to take a fun break....

 

 

The kids had a wonderful time connecting and reconnecting with friends amongst sugar cookies, sprinkles and lots of frosting....I can't think of anything better!

                       Look at her sprinkles are individually placed on her cookie!  I am so impressed!

                                                                  Cookie expert here!

                                                    Do you want a cookie?  I sure do!

                                                 Loving all of this!  Happy Valentine's Day!
