Camp Out!

Okay, trying this again!! I just uploaded all of these photos and captioned them and then lost the entire entry!! UGH!
This weekend we traveled to southern Iowa to camp out (I use that term loosely as we stayed in cabins that had power, air conditioning, etc....but hey that's as rustic as we get!). We joined mom & dad, the Little's and Mark and Ken. It was a great time, but we were surrounded by great peeps!
Here is one of the cabins, there are 4 cabins, so we all had plenty of space. There were also quite a few people camping out in their campers over the weekend.

Hmmm.....what could this possibly lead to????

Water balloon fight!!!!!!!!

I was the only one who didn't get drenched (sometimes it pays to be behind the camera!)


Late in the afternoon we went to John and Karleen's house so the kids (both big and small) could go on a horse ride. We all had a great time, they also have a huge trampoline which was a huge hit with the little ones also!

John and Karleen have a gorgeous view from their deck, this photo does not do it justice at all!

A group shot on the horse, they didn't ride all at the same time, but we wanted a pic of them together! :)

We got back to camp and put the guys to work cooking dinner.
We were also able to celebrate Uncle Mark and Hannah's birthdays last night.

Porter is all about the frosting!!!

A plaque at Fogle lake explaining the history of a bridge that crosses over the lake, the plaque is in memory of our beloved Grandma Bert.

Looks like you all had a great time camping! And I'm sure John and Karleen loved having you come ride the horses. And like the pictures from the fair too.
