End of Summer Bash/Camp out

So I had issues with pictures again....BUT before too much happens I wanted to post these anyway.
The girls took one last round of swimming lessons. Miss Kristen and Kenedy were awesome and Taryn wants to have them over for play dates.... The girls learned a ton and we will definitely be doing this again next summer.
THEN we decided to go camping for a few days up in pine valley. We hiked around in the woods and found a cool Indian tee pee and a bear cave and all sorts of stuff...The girls were totally occupied just exploring the world for hours. Brent capitalized on this and went fishing and played with his camera. My sister came up for a dutch oven dinner one night and Brent went skeet shooting with them while I cleaned up. We ate a lot of ginormous s'mores (Brent saw HUGE marshmallows in the store and couldn't resist) and laid in the hammock watching shooting stars...This was Jocelyn's first camping trip and other than not sleeping worth squat she did fabulous. It was a really relaxing-a much needed change of pace for everyone.

The girls last day of swimming
My little Indian braves...except they are girls...
Taryn checking to see how cold the reservoir really was...she didn't last long...
Cami day dreaming and happy about it.
The girls rocking out on the stage/rock they discovered...
Jocelyn and her tongue...Glad I could contribute genetically to my child in some way...
It was torrential our last morning there so thank goodness to Grandma and Papa's camping trailer we still enjoyed our doughnuts...
Cami with her monster marshmallow s'more-yes her pony tail is stuck to her arm in it and it is smeared on her forehead and pretty much everywhere else...thank goodness for serious baby wipes...
Some candid moment in the life of the weights...our "real" family moments.
