Family Pictures

This last weekend we had a great time! Our cousin, Josh, came out & took family pictures for us. He's a great photographer. Check him out at http://pvmphotography.wordpress.com/
Anyways, we had tons of fun. We made Justin's fabulous homemade pizza & then went out to play. Our family picture's are still on the way, but the individual ones of the kids were incredible! Thanks Josh!!! Here's a sampling of his great work and our beautiful children!!!








Girls Camp

Whoooo! It's been a busy summer! Time to catch up on the fun summer happenings. Girls Camp was definitely a big highlight of the summer. We had 15 girls go to camp. I was lucky enough to get to stay all week long. Our theme this year was "Super Heroes". We had a great time making our outfits. We made capes with our names on them & we did head bands. We also made shields with a big gold V for our skits. Oh, and Babette & I made ourselves bandanas to hide our scary hair. We designed & then ordered the t-shirts. Oh, did I mention our value was Virtue & our color was gold? So, of course, everything we did was gold!

We made a fabulous flag to hang in our camp. Our flag:

We played games. This game seemed easy at first, but we found, it was our biggest challenge. You have to put the bricks in front of you one step at a time. Then, everyone has to pass & cross over the bricks without putting a foot on the ground. It became interesting!

We took the whole group swimming & squished them all in one car! These things make the memories!
We went repelling. Well, I didn't exactly go. The girls went several times each in my place. I was happy behind the camera! :) Maybe next year I'll go down the mountain! We'll see...
I believe the funnest thing we did was go on an adventurous little hike. We had previously found this great waterfall. So, we decided to take the girls who wanted to, on a hike to the waterfall. We had a blast! We waded, splashed & had a super time! Some definitely got wetter than others. It was fantastic! We had so much fun, we decided next year it will be required to go have fun with us, not optional!
Going through these pictures brought back all the fun memories we made. Can't wait til next year!
