Camping! (the cheater way)

We've been really lucky over the years to have campgrounds close by our home, so that if we don't feel like sleeping over, or if it's still FREEZING at night in June up the canyon, we just spend the day with all the happy trailer-campers, utilize the fire for s'mores at night, then drive home and sleep all snuggly in our beds. Works out great for us! :)
(My mom and sister have more of the cuter pictures, so I may have to follow this one up when I get copies)
Thursday night we joined the family for a camp fire up at Timpooneke. Sofie was tired and mostly sat in laps, staring at the fire.

The whole crew (including the silver haired camp host that somehow became BFF with the Grand-parents. I thinks he ate most of her meals with our family throughout the weekend! She drove a Segway around and let everybody try it out...fascinating old lady)

Cold Mom, Dad, and Sofie (but it's always worth the s'more!)


Me, Grandma and Sofie (lots of posing)

This one's for Mom, who's always the one TAKING the picture, not IN the picture.

The rest of the family stayed Thursday Friday and Saturday, but we didn't join them again until Saturday afternoon. It was warm and sunny and beautiful! Sofie and Sierra had a GREAT time!


Sofie insisted on the baseball cap. Darling.


My little Homey hangin' out by the "fire". She had a great time and is still asking to go back to the "mowtins"

Sad to see May go!

*Warning: may or may not contain Sofie in every single picture!
Sofie enjoying lunch in grandma's "part of the house". I turned around to find her shoving raw spinach into her mouth. "S'Ummy!" That's m'girl!

Grandma's 80th b-day party. Perfect weather! Too much food!

Grandma's 12 of 13 great-grandkids!!

Grandma's backyard was so much fun! None of the kids wanted to leave! (poor Sierra was getting over the fever that Sofie now has this week)

I am soooooooooooooooooooooo glad the weather is finally cooperating enough to enjoy the backyard! :) Grandpa was giving the kids wheel barrel rides.

We LOVE having the cousins over! It's the only time Sofie gets to have any fun. She's so bored with the same ol' Mommy day after day!

"Loud!"
Sofie's not used to the screaming excitement of the cousins. I love that she's shoving all the fat on her head forward. So hilarious!! Makes her head look HUGE! Must have been really loud! (and that hairdo is my laziness in trying to get bangs out of her face)
