camping in sunlakes

This past weekend we went camping in Sun Lakes with our small group, my folks, and one other set of parents. We have been so blessed by our small group and cherish the relationships Levi and I, as well as the girls are building. It was so much fun to spend the weekend together, and great to have my parents with us. We were quite the crowd...all 7 families...but it was really a blast.

Within moments of getting out of the car Eden was covered in dirt and ash from the fire pit she chose to sit in! The weather was beautiful...in spite of a mighty wind storm that tried to blow us away Saturday night. My parents brought the boat, which was fun but a little crazy on such a small lake...yikes! So we decided to enjoy the water from the beach instead.

Friday night I woke up to the sound of rustling and crunching, only to discover a raccoon had opened our food box and pulled out a bag of Kettle chips (he had to choose the expensive ones). After getting Levi up, he shooed the critter away and secured our food, only to discover he chose to hit everyone elses sites too. He enjoyed cheese-its, trail mix, and more...those raccoons must love camping season!

I love the dirt!

Emily and Ezri had to go potty and couldn't make to the restroom, we told them to walk out in the water to cover their bums and go....when we looked over this is what we saw...oops! No hiding what they were doing :)

The boys are just drawn to Levi...Braiden and Tristen were have water wars with him...we now have surrogate sons!

"Take me home I'm cooked" Most the kiddo's before we headed home Sunday...you can they're wiped out!

Thanks for such a special weekend friends!
