I got so far behind in blogging due to.... well....camping and other wonderful distractions this summer.
We went to one of the beautiful state campgrounds and enjoyed a 2 week stint of camping and relaxing. We, for the most part, had wonderful weather, but we did have a doozy of a thunderstorm while there. The wind was so strong, it pulled the awning from the deflappers (awning clips that keep the awning from flapping, hence the name!) I tried to fix them, but wasn't able to. My sister came up to spend the night and she attempted to, but they just didn't stay. We had to wait it out until Dan came back from work to fix it.I don't mind the storms while camping. As a matter of fact, I love watching and listening to them. Besides, it's kind of cozy all huddled in the camper watching the lightning and hearing the crashing of the thunder.
In the following days, it was beautiful weather, sunny and warm. Great weather for having all kinds of fun.
The geese were also enjoying the warm weather. They also seemed to enjoy pooping everywhere! Man! Their poop is the size of small dogs for pete sakes! I'm sure you've heard of the expression "Sh_t like a goose" Oh.... it's sooo true!
Dan commuted to work everyday, which isn't too bad, especially when he comes home from work to the great outdoors and happy kids eagerly anticipating his homecoming!

BIG HUG!Look at the size of Bear our dog! He's only 7 months old in this picture and he's getting bigger than the kids!

"Hmmmmm........"
"Hmmmmm......"I see two kids that look like their up to something! More like "how can I irritate my brother/sister"
Time to get rowdy, DADDY"S HOME!!!!
I love the colors at sunset.
I tried to get a better shot, at least one a little better focused but the kids just couldn't stop long enough!
Nice places to get lost in thought.
Now this is the perfect time to take a swim.
Watching the ships go by......
Painting the ground.......
Or each other????BATH TIME!!
Until next time!Take care!

Hi Tina,
I've been down and out for a bit and just waiting for it to pass. "This too shall pass".
I love that you have such wonderful and eventful family outings. The pictures are amazing and a perfect view of the fun everyone had.
I'm not sure that I would have enjoyed being in a camper during a thunderstorm. However, I do love the great outdoors. I guess that's what so terrific about your photos. You always captured the best outdoor scenes. It rather relaxing going through your collection of photos.
The kids are always happy at play and it's so adorable to see how much fun they have and the looks on their faces are always too cute.
Thank you for sharing your family fun! I truly enjoy it.
Take care,
Janice
