Camping Pics

Poor Heidi was in and our of the ER twice for kidney stones.  She eventually finished off her camping trip at home.

The Bigelows borrowed our tent and created an awesome tarp shelter for the forecasted rain.

Dad has lots of experience with tarp shelters.  Northwest Coastal camping requires lots of "tarpage"

2nd annual shooting competition.  Uncle Don won again!

"Mema" Lori playing some baseball with the kids.

The kids spent LOTS of time playing "house" under the trees with the play doh pasta maker Elise bought for them.

We had our traditional potluck on Sunday...lots of yummy food!

Avyrie was going to be turning 1 on the 5th.  We celebrated with cupcakes and gifts at the potluck.

Avyrie didn't like the whole cupcake eating experience so much.  She's good at the "stinkface"

I make blueberry pancakes at every camping trip on one of the mornings.

We camped for 5 days starting the weekend before the 4th, but several still had to work on Monday and Tuesday.  There were only a few of us at camp Monday and it was a dreary/rainy day.  So, the kids camped out in Chris and Tonya's trailer to watch "The Muppets" and dry out for a while.

On the eve of the 3rd, Chris Wilson and Elise set off all the fireworks Chris Bigelow had bought. From left to right: Synnove, Soren, Lori, Tyler, and Faith.
