FRIEND CAMPING TRIP 7-08 Sly Park

The Camping Kids!!! 4 Families, 8 Adults, 11 Kids, growing up together!Look how cute they are! The creators of the those awesome kids... the 8 parents, man we are good! Mare & Kev Sara & Emily, Everybody's Surfing, Surfing USA!! Amanda, Emily, & Kyle my mud babies!! Dave just about ready to get a mighty wet wake up call. He was out cold!This is Kyle showing us his casuality from the water mat. You can't tell but this was a pretty nasty rippage of skin... he was brave though & didn't let it keep him off the water mat, too much fun to be had! This was the end of Kyle doing all the work on their daddy/son boat trip. Amanda was enjoying a quick nappy poo, swimming is hard work! Mare, B, & Jo that was a cool self portrait, not bad Mare! A nice friendly game of cards, no losers at camp. This is a shot from our grown-up night by the fire. We played "Stick Name That Tune", way too much fun!!! We were pulling out some crazy old school tunes. The annual DOT melting event! Look at that pretty fire, nice job fire guys! This is Kevin & his gift from the Keagy's, long story short Kevin has a condition...we call it camp ***, or swamp ***, either name the symptoms are the same... & it aint pretty! This picture says it all, good for a very long, loud, hearty laugh by all. Thanks Keagy's!! Since camping Kevin has given your gift a very impressive 2 thumbs up!! Wow Kyle bet that marshmallow would like to trade places with another marshmallow!Kyle & Christian roasting marshies. Campfire fun girl style!This is the game table, the craft table, the kid table, and always the STICKY TABLE!! Oh and the MESSY TABLE!!!Ahhh the ladies having "adult time" on the mat. We had to kick the kids off for a bit. They were not happy & immediatly saying "we're bored, let us back on" Girls Picture! Every year since we have gone camping together, Jo has a B-day. Every year we make sure she gets to blow out the candles on something. Kevin & Kyle's turn to make the fire, what great concentration. Livvy eating her nachosMarie and the famous Twilight book. She read the entire 1st book that she bought for our camping trip in 6 hours. So on the way up she stopped off & bought the 2nd book. Now Amanda is hooked. I might have to give it a try... B, Kristen & Rosie chillin Ahhh Christian taking a break from being a wild man! Kamie, Emily, & Sara taking a break from game time. Lauren rocking out, we must have heard Feliz Navidad at least 20 times... too funny! More game time Trying to plead her case is Kamie to judge Emily...
This was one of many many many team challenges our guys play during the camping trip. They are hilarious!
Kyle & Christian on the water mat. Doesn't this look fun??? The kids had a blast!! What a bunch of posers!!! This water mat was a HIT! Until next year CAMPERS!!! Every year for the past 6 years we have gone on this Friend Camping Trip. We have a blast together. Our group consists of 4 families, & 11 kids. All the kids are close in age so it's nice bc everyone has someone to play with. The guys have this competition complete with a trophy. It's called ( in honor of Kevin's condition) The Annual Camp*** Trophy. Of course no one ever wants to win & take it home. If you win, you have to keep the trophy with you until the next camping trip. The contest is made up of several very lame games & some real ones too. They have a good time with it. We also take one night & call it grown up camp fire night. This is usually a very fun time, where no one wants to be the first to go to bed. This year we played a very fun game called "Stick Name That Tune" where you bang out the tune of a song on the fire pit with a stick. We also played " Would You Rather", a very silly game but I must say a lot of very interesting choices came up. We also have Appetizers ( each mom takes one night & makes their appetizer) mine is always Frito Boats. We also have yummy marshmallow roasting time, where we use things like mini Reeses ( my personal FAVE) & all the yummy minature candy bars & Junior Mints. We are never boring when it comes to food! We always have a great time together, this is a group of friends that I see taking trips together well into grand kid times. Until Next Year Campers!!!!
