Family Camp Preview

We had an incredible time  at Family Camp.  It was amazing.  I don't think I've ever been so compelety whipped returning from a vacation.....but, that's ok!  

Here's a preview of our week together:

The challenge was to climb the pole, stand on top of it and try to wack the tether ball.  Many attempted, few were successful.  

It will surprise no one that Ron climbed that pole like a squirrel and wacked the ball with little effort.  That's my man.

Happy 10 year anniversary babe! 

Cousin Photo Opp

Our best attempt at a photo of the 8 (so far!) cousins together.

And yes, my brothers are ducked down hoisting up three of the boys in the back row.

(ages 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1, 8 months & 3 months)

What a View!

My view yesterday.

And my view today.

A Whole Lot of Work

For some reason, I always forget how much work it is to travel.  Ron and I get to take a mini-honeymoon together (compliments of a product he represents - yippee - free vaca!) and my family members (including but not limited to sisters, brother, cousins and aunts - thanks guys - love you!) will be caring for our gaggle while we are gone.

Suffice it to say, it is a TON of work to get all the stuff together (and lists and routines and...) that the 6 of us will need for the next few days.  A. Ton. Of. Work.  Did I mention that already?

As I mentioned when we did a get-a-way in January, I miss my babies like crazy while I'm gone. But, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

And I gotta go pack.
