We went camping with the Fenton family at Strawberry Reservoir.
My girls cannot get enough cousin time!
We did a lot of fun crafts, fishing, & treasure hunting.

Cute Boden
Kim, Megan, Henry and Cicily
Samantha and Sage got to come as well.
{we couldn't leave them home alone! } :)
We made cool visors with fun stickers.
Megan brought all her nail polish and painted the girl's nails.
Owen LOVED Boden!
Rylie with her uncle Ryan
Cute Gpa and Gma
Rylie loved Boden too.

The girl cousins
All the "treasures" we found around our campsite.

Waiting for a ride in uncle Ryan's truck.
Learning how to shoot a gun.
We painted rocks for Gma's garden.

The real highlight of the weekend was crawdad fishing!
It was perfect!
You could fish from the dock.
It took NO skill.
Anyone and Everyone could do it.
You ALWAYS caught one.
Rylie caught 5 at a time.
Crawdad fishing at night.

Crawdad fishing during the day.

Gpa was a pro with the net.
It was so fun to see how excited the kids got with each catch.

Winston waiting patiently.
We caught more than a hundred crawdads!
All the boys shelling the crawdads to take home and eat.
{I guess they taste like baby lobster.}
All the grandkids!
{Rylie was sad}
Thanks mom and dad for taking us and planning great activities.
We love getting together!

Summer is just not complete without a trip to Wheeler Farm.
(our attempt at a 4-kid picture)
Dru and Owen are still best buds.
I just think Ryan looks pretty cute in this pic so I threw it in.
Ryan found this cool stream that I have never noticed before.
The kids had a blast throwing rocks.




Feeding the ducks.

Look at that elbow chub. This is my favorite pic!
Waving to the goats.
Riding the tractor.
These pics of Rylie make me laugh!

This is what it looks like when the Martin family goes swimming.

A lot of jumping!
Some posing for the camera.
A lot of fun tube time.
There may be some noodle action.
Ry is a daredevil.
Owen can get frustrated.
Owen is happiest when held.
Again, not being held.
{Call me crazy, but he looks SO CUTE when he is crying.}
Dru jumping backwards.
{She is a little close to the board for my liking.}
Rylie walking the deck.
Ryan having fun.
A lot of fun.
Check out this silly face.
{I could kiss and squish this face all day long.}


Ry is a real acrobat.
Having fun together.
Owen just being cute.
Liv being silly.
The long walk back to our towels.
Rylie drying off.
So sad to go home.
{Wow, that was a lot of crying pics. He really is a happy baby.}
