To celebrate our second annual Father's Day Camp Trip, I bring to you many pictures documenting the fun we had hanging out and being together.  It was a trip that was overdue as the kids and adults all have so much fun together when we are all together like this.  As usual, Grandma rocked the menus so the food was delicious!  The kids enjoyed quality time playing games, riding bikes, and riding horses. . .doesn't get much better than that!  Memories were made and I am so blessed that my family genuinely enjoys hanging out together and the older we get the better the times seem to be.

 This bean bag toss was so fun!  You never would have known that Ernie and I lost by the way I was celebrating each time I hit the board!  My mom pretended like she didn't know how to play and then she proceeded to kick our butts.  That's okay--I see a rematch in our future!  My brother's sewing skills are pretty fantastic, let me tell you--he was stitching those bags up like a rock star!  I see a great birthday gift on the horizon. . .

 Nessa's Godparents showed up with B's little niece.  The two-year-olds ran around in the water, fed ducks, went on bike rides and had such a great time!  They were all tired at the day's end but got along so well. . .you only knew they were two by the occasional tantrum. . .when adults ruined their fun by keeping them safe.

 The campsite was full of life, energy, and lots of love--I think our annual trip was a success.  It might be the only weekend out of the year that my parents take out their RV, but luckily we all live close and get together often enough to hang out and relax. . .the RV element just gets us away from the distractions of home and it reminds me of growing up with our weekly camp trips to the lake.

Happy Father's Day, fellows!!  You are all loved and appreciated not just today but every day of the year!  Thanks for the memories!  Much love always. . .May blessings abound.
