Labor Day Weekend

We spent A WONDERFUL WEEKEND in the mountains camping with family and some of our most favorite friends. Though some that had planned on coming weren't able to make it (you were missed.)
Here are some highlights of the trip...
Scott couldn't resist climbing into the hammock with Dustin whenever he'd try to get a little shut-eye.
Here you go, Rick... the picture of Dustin's finger. As you can see he nearly tore the tip of it off at work right before the trip. Pretty nasty!!
Dustin on his pink bike hanging with his gang.
This is what happens to tweens when they get too sassy!
Dustin and Scott bonding during nap time.
Amber and Karley enjoying some "down time." It's so great to be bored sometimes!
Dustin waking from his peaceful slumber.
Me and Madison (who took most of these great pictures this weekend.)
Karley harnessing the wind...or trying to.
Dustin took all of the kids who were there on Sunday on a little hike so me and Amber could have a little rest. I'm not sure the resting part worked out but the kids enjoyed their adventure.



We had so much fun and this was the best part:

  • yummy food and lots of it
  • great conversation
  • big laughs
  • hiking
  • games
  • reading
  • a hot pay shower
  • bike riding
  • ghost stories
  • s'more's
  • a little R&R
Thank you to every one who came and made this trip so great and for those who couldn't make it, there WILL be a next time!!
