Family Camping Trip 2013

August 30 - Sept. 1, 2013

I was so excited for our big family camping trip.
Two drawbacks:  Saturday was my Mom's birthday and we would miss her party and
Natalie was the only one in our family who was not going.  

We got a perfect camp spot.
We went up by Pine Creek kind of by West Piney Girls Camp Lodge.

 How many Monk's does it take to put up a shade tent?
 Even these little Monk's were  helping.
 Camden looks so cute on his strider bike. 
 It really did take lots of Monk's to put up this tent!
 Playing in the creek.
Emily and Jenna didn't seem to mind that it was so cold.

 Matt catches a water snake!
 Emily is not too sure about holding it.
 All ready for their picture to be taken!
Aren't they so cute?
 This is my favorite of Jenna. . . 
 Matt with the snake.

 Bubbles bring so many smiles.
 Everyone loved riding in Grandpa's RZR.
Look at those faces!

We really did have fun except things came to an end when. . . 
1)  Brooke got sick and Steven took her home then,
2)  Jenna fell in the fire!

After a wonderful dutch over dinner Saturday night,
we had a huge fire ring and just a small fire in the middle.
Jenna fell backwards into the fire.  The back of her head hit the fire.
Wynn promptly pulled her out.  She was screaming, a scream I won't
soon forget.  The back of her little head was on fire.  Wynn and Steven patted
it out and then discovered that there was a coal or something on her sleeve that
burnt her little arm.  Oh my, it was the saddest thing  in the world.  Poor Hailey was
so scared.  So thankful that she was okay, it could of been so much worse.
Sam and Hailey went  home Saturday night right after the accident.
After Jenna had a nice bath and got cleaned up, she looked like 
nothing even happened to her.  I'm sure counting my blessing for that one.
We felt so watched over and so blessed!  
Breakfast before coming home on Sunday.
