Family Camp 2012

We made our annual trip to Family Camp at CAMP BLUEHAVEN this past weekend. It's one of those things that I really don't enjoy, but I go because my children love it so much. I like it once I'm there. I enjoy visiting with friends and the slow pace of the weekend and the family time, but it's the packing and the organizing to get there that does me in...and then there's the unpacking! The laundry alone makes me faint!

But I digress.  We had a great weekend. I didn't take as many photos as I should have. We'll blame on the tummy bug I caught Saturday afternoon/evening. Family Camp is not as much fun when you're throwing up and running fever. But please enjoy the ones I did manage to take. :)

Phoebe and Brad working on our family craft. I don't usually enjoy these family crafts so Brad took over for me. He had some great help.


Emma Kate, Ellie, and Phoebe. I *love* this photo!


Eli and Dayton trying to catch a fish with their hands. Eli finally succeeded after many tries. Watch out, Bear Grylls!



The Bear Hunting Club. Every year they tell us that bears have been seen near camp and that we need to be careful. This group (headed by Ellie) decided they were going to spend the weekend hunting bears. They were unsuccessful.

I linked up some of the other years we've been to Family Camp. There aren't photos of every year we've been because we started going when Eli was just a little over a year old. These are only the last four years, but I had a great time looking back at how my children (and everyone else's) have changed. Sweet and sad all at the same time.
