By request...

My Aussie sister awaits camping photos... I will try not to compare my sad little snapshots with the marvelous photography of my cousin Shelby who has a new camera...

the common area - much reading and admiration for Lori's new Kindle...

This girl who is quickly becoming a young lady...Cousin Eric tried hard all weekend to get on Amanda's good side - she was never sure... this was the look she gave him most of the weekend - she was SOOO funny about it!Great Grandpa turns 92 next week - we had a mini birthday party for him. Both he and Grandma (and 5 others) ended up sick at the end of the trip and he had to get some IV fluids at the hospital. He is doing better now -
Stephanie and Steve are getting married in a few weeks! CONGRATULATIONS!!!Swimming was the main focus for my fish-children - they spent much of the open-pool hours there. It was fun to see the cousins getting to know each other.

Even Mandy got in on the swimming - she loved it!We went out to dinner after checking out - and squeezed in a picture or two at the beach (sadly, our only visit there even thought it is across the street from our campground). Sunday was the best day anyway...


It was a fun year - looking forward to when I can sit and have a conversation with my cousins uninterrupted... A couple more years...

Even if the parents had WANTED to go to the beach... the kids (at least mine) opted for the pool! Had a blast, didn't want to leave, can't wait to go back!

I can't believe you didn't go to the beach, but that's not too bad since post-pool is way easier than post-beach! that cousins shot is to die for! that has to be a yearly shot on the beach i think! i hadn't heard whether grandma and grandpa were even there, let alone that he was in hospital! it's all a bit too much now I bet... i bet they just don't want to give it up though.
