WOW! Camp WEEK was AWESOME!

Wow, so much fun.  We left Sunday morning for our adventure to camp.
We stopped at McDonald's for a lunch stop!

Who can resist these!  Then we went the Parson's house to play for a bit.  Mom and Dad brought the big guys to camp - to get them settled in.

Big Guys at Camp!

That evening, we went on the Island with the cousins to have dinner and play on the rocks.  Monday was Jeremiah's first day at camp!

Here is our Wild Group!

Here is our Ranch Group!
Mom, Dad and Grandma rode a 30 mile bike ride around Schroon Lake - it was hilly, beautiful and fun.  We did tennis that afternoon.
Monday evening we had a tired bunch of little dudes who went to bed pretty easily.
Tuesday the adults and Levi & Issac played tennis and went to the beach.
And at camp - Jeremiah had a super time in the mud pit!
Wednesday morning Jeremiah and Isaac sang Dave a very rambunctious Happy Birthday right off first thing in the morning.  Mom and Dad climbed a 'High Peak' - Cascade Mountain.  It was a beautiful 360 degree view.  And watched the movie Solo in town.
Jeremiah spent Wednesday night at the cousins cabin.  Thursday morning Mom and Dad when to get our big campers from camp.  They had a BLAST!!  We joined Jeremiah and the cousins on the Island to play together there.  There is a ninja course.

This dude climbed the frame on the back to the top.

This dude climbed the fireman pole to the top!

These guys played some low key 3 on 3 ball.
We all went back to the Parson's house for dinner.
That evening us 5 went for ice cream in town, and took a walk to the playground we always stop at.

I'm sure you recognize this famous caterpillar.

And this duck that we've all been photoed on through the year. :)
Friday morning we packed up - and stopped at Fort William Henry - which was utterly defeated in the French and Indian war - let's watch Last of the Mohicans. :)  We made it home by 6pm on Friday.

We did not officially celebrate this guys birthday this year.  So with help from the boys we set up this great set of candles to celebrate.  it was a brownie sundae kind of night.

Love,
The Campers who Love Camp

What a WONDERFUL Vacation!


Early Thursday morning we drove to the airport for our awesome friend adventure.
We're packed and ready to go.

We're waiting patiently for our flight.  "What time is it now?" was the most asked question.  We knew the boarding time!

 First Stop our Hornback friends!
We're posting on a big rock at the Creation Museum in KY

Us Too!

Us Three!
Group Photo, before we take off for our next location!
Next Stop the Reeds!


We had fun bouncing on their trampoline!
We went to church with them, and listened to Pastor Matt's sermon on Jonah. 
Next stop the Chambers!

We were SOOOO excited to spend time with Jayce!

We cooked hot dogs, Brats & marshmallows over the fire at lunch time!

We went to a super fun bounce place that afternoon.  Jeremiah and Dad are battling on the beam.

Adley is completing the ninja challenge. 

Nathanael completing a different ninja challenge. 
This photo is blurry, but the Dad's are getting some sweet air in a dodge ball game with the kids!
We have some awesome friends, what a treat to spend some great time with them.
Love,
The travel buddies!

Happy Birthday Nathanael!!

 Happy Birthday to this sweet 10 year old Dude!

Memere & Papa King came over to party.  Dunkin Donuts for cake.  YUM.  What a beautiful day outside, riding bikes, walking to the pond and pizza on the pic nic table.  

Nathanael was so excited to ride his bike using his new helmet and gloves, that when Dave got home they zipped off to the woods for a ride before dinner.



This dude photo bombed my cake. :)  Here is Nathanael's very Skittley cake.  It's a Mine Craft Steve.
The boys have been working on building a berm in the back woods (a small mountain to ride you bike over.)
Both dudes tried it out.  Dave too of course - and a bunch!
We went to Grandma's and Grandpa's today for bike rides, cake and ice cream.  Another super fun day!
Love,
The Birthday Buddy!
