July Family Campout

We did our annual week long campout at Spruce Woods in mid July. It was one of the few nice weeks we had all summer, and so it was great to be able to enjoy that at the campground!

Henry & I did a hike after supper one night. Great way to get rid a few of the calories!

The cousins hanging out at the beach. They weren't as thrilled about the beach as they have been in the past. Not sure if they're growing out of playing on the beach or it was just an off week.


The oldest and youngest cousins hanging out!


Aunt Verna and her family joined us for the weekend. We appreciate to be able to stay connected with them even though Uncle Rudy is no longer with them. Potluck supper means lots of good food!


This is what I love about camping...just relaxing and enjoying the summer!

July Photoshoot

One Sunday evening we headed out to a local canola field to take some pictures. The kids were actually in the mood for taking pictures, which always makes it a lot more fun, and more goofy pictures! The family pictures were all done with self timer!


The goofy brothers! This picture may come to haunt them someday:)



Having lot's of fun!






Raquel is a little more relaxed than her brothers!


Jeziah has lots of fun, and when he gets laughing, it is very hard for him to stop. His giggling is very contagious, and he soon has everyone laughing!

"Can we do silly shots?"




A rare serious shot!



The kids wanted to do a silly family shot. I love how this one turned out with the self timer!










These glasses are from watching a 3D movie, and Jeziah loved them. Reminds of Steve Erkel (however that is spelled) from back in the day! Suits him!

Thought I'd share some creative creations that Raquel & I came up with a while ago!
