In a tent, down by the river...

We were able to go camping this past weekend with the Lunt family. We camped just off the Etowah river. It was a pretty good spot because we were able to spread out (our tents) and even had flushing toilets that we could walk to (I don't care for the alternative:). A few people even took a swim in the river (mostly trying to fish out the frisbee, footballs and baseball). In was just nice to get away for a few days and leave work, bills, cell phones, homework, etc. behind. There are lots of pictures to show how much the kids enjoyed being around each other!

Olivia loves Shellee's shoes. I can hardly believe she can walk in these near four inch heals.

Olivia also loves to display her beads and then count them.

Here we are to the camping pics... Savannah striking a pose with Livy Lou.

Braden and Olivia loved running into the tents.

And yet another pose of Savannah and Olivia.

Here's Braden's pose.

Olivia's festive Halloween outfit.

Still SO cute with such a close up shot.

Braden climbing trees (with Papa's help).

So high Braden.

Now they all want a turn to sit high.

Somebody's been in the river...

It's not that great of fishing when all the kids are throwing rocks next to the fisherman.

Daddy teaching Olivia how to throw rocks in the river...Braden already has it figured out (of course, he's a boy!)

Savannah took a tumble with mud splashing on her face.

This footstool was called many different things, but it's really mud! Grammy and Bella striking a pose.

Bella eating ice cream (yes, it was a cold thing to do while camping).

Braden opted for a healthier treat...apples.

I know this is a blurry picture, but it is still a fun one.

Diana, Braden and Olivia.

Another buddy finally showed up for Olivia.

Maddy kicking it in her camping chair. I thought Olivia's eyes looked pretty cool in this picture.

Olivia the happy camper.

All three toddler cousins.

Cheril and Justin.

Mornings were freezing. Olivia snuggling with Daddy.

Maddy and Olivia...just kickin' it.

Madison, Olivia and Braden again.

Enjoying each others company.

I love this picture of Jason and Diana's kids. Braden, Savannah and Bella.

Jason even went in the river shoes and all to save a football. Here he is trying to dry off and keep warm by the fire.

Vicki sportin' her new shades.
