Memorial Memories

My feeble brain is storing our camping trip over Memorial Day weekend...I actually forgot to bring my camera! I have very few that I managed to snap with my iPhone.

To compare last year's church Family Camp trip to Albright Camp with this year's is a lesson is how quickly children grow. I think Paige aged by light-years over the weekend, with all the talking, playing and running (away down the hill) that she did with the other kids! And the dirt...oh wow.

Even if I had my camera, I don't know that I would have had many pics, since we were so very active, doing things that don't accomodate a camera OR an iPhone...

Canoeing. Swimming. Kayaking. Biking. Coloring. Cooking. Geocaching on the bridge (okay, that actually required the iPhone, but we were so busy searching that we never thought to take a picture...plus we never found it). Running (the 1st annual Family Camp 5K by Brad & Matt). Chasing. More chasing. Campfires. Ice cream. Potlucking. Playing cards. Napping. Sidewalk chalking. Singing. Worshipping. Being together.

Oh yeah, and how could I forget playing in dog water, the favorite activity of B & Pep?

Oh, these girls...it was so blazin' hot all weekend, so who could blame them when they found a big yellow storage case full of water, which was intended for Brad & Jen's dogs, Remington & Winchester...

I love this family tradition that we are creating!
