Family Camp 2015 ~ Part 2

 Alright, y'all.  I am bound and determined to get caught up on our camping photos!

Here goes: Part 2 of our first camping trip in July
{yeppers, that's right, we took 2 camping trips last month, and I am *still* going through photos from our last trip}


Once our family arrived, it was arts and crafts . . .

 

 

and all sorts of fun visiting with people we sometimes only see once a year.
 

There is a fish pond set up for the littles.

 

 

And sometimes a not-so-little :)
 

 

And a "cake walk" with super fun prizes.
 

 

And yeah, we were in jeans and sweatshirts the whole time!
I don't know what happened to our 90 degree weather, but it must have taken a break that week.
Sixties, cloudy, and sprinkles was the forecast.
 

 

These two cuties are besties!
Sonoma is only 5 months older than Kam, and they've been inseparable since birth.
 

 

And Saturday night is camp auction.
It's how we pay for the following year's reunion.
 

 

We were missing so many from camp this year, but our small group had a great time anyway!
 

 

 

 

 Countdown is already on for next year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Savin' {Hummingbird} Lives

 So, these little creatures are cracking me up these days.

 

 

 

 We have a hummingbird feeder on our back porch, and it is seemingly frequented every second of the day.  HOWEVER, these guys apparently missed the "sharing is caring" memo.  One will perch on that little hook on look-out.  And if another comes flying in to innocently take a drink, the look-out guy will swoop in to scare the unsuspecting one away.

Seriously, guys, there's enough food for everyone!
 

 

The other day Jeremy called me out to his shop, and pointed to the corner where a little hummingbird was just hanging out on the floor. After a minute it became obvious the little guy wasn't going anywhere, so Jerm picked him up.

 

 

Still not flying.
Jeremy, being the hummingbird whisperer he is, decided to take him to get a little drink.

 

 

I guess these guys need constant hydration, because a few minute of magic red drink tlc, and he was on his way!

Sweet little things!

 

 

 

Wordful Wednesday ~ Creek Fun

I love spending time at our creek.

It's peaceful, it's full of life, and in the Summer, it's about 15 degrees cooler.

The other day we invited a favorite cousin over, and headed down to the water.

We found this little guy having a mid-afternoon snack.

We're always on the look-out for "wish makers".  I mean, who couldn't use a a wish or two coming true these days?  I know I could!

Some of my favorite kiddos:
{Absolutely NO comments on how Kenners new bangs make her look 42 years older, okay??  I can't handle it!!!}

And I don't know who these crazies are ;)

Ahhh Summer days . . . Don't leave me!!!
