Family Camping 2012

(Sorry - I think 3 month long gaps in between posts is becoming a theme in our blog. If it wasn't for Matt reminding me to update this thing I think the gap time frame would be a lot larger.)


Since our last post, we have done quite a few things as a family - one large event being our camping family reunion.

Although I was a little worried at first to go camping (being that Aaron had never been camping, and well, baby Sunny hadn't done much of anything at that point...) but it all worked out a lot better than I expected. It was nice to be away from computers, TV, cell phones, and microwaves and let Aaron be a kid, get dirty, and explore on his own.

The first evening we got there the weather was gorgeous! We were very excited to see where our home would be for the next 2 days.

Our cabin was the one on the left.

Before everyone else got there, we decided it was time to start some dinner:

Tri-Tip and homemade macaroni salad on the side - YUM!

Camping? So far, so good! =)

Our little family

Here is Uncle Jeff pushing the cousins on the porch swing. I think Uncle Jeff and Aunt Yolanda were the stars of the show - they brought fun toys for all the kids to play like bubbles and squirt guns. The kids (especially Aaron) followed them around everywhere. It's months later and Aaron still asks where Uncle Jeff is. =)

And what's camping without smores?

All in all, aside from the bugs, and the 10+ mosquito bites I got the last night we were there (oddly enough, the kids didn't get bit once, but that's great!), it was a very fun trip...maybe we should make this an annual thing.....maybe....  :-)
