(Just don't swallow your mustache Grandma ;)
What a crazy, but cute bunch!
*Going to White Lake!*
John David bought this boat with the spending money that Paw Paw gave him. Fifteen dollars well spent.
He and Ethan had the best time with it! They would take it out in the water, and then come back to shore every few minutes. When I went to ask why he kept coming back to shore, I overheard him say to Ethan, "Doggone it! We ran out of gas again!" Ahhhh....that explains it. Funny boys.
The boys also had a fun time chasing the ducks.
Jessica was the hero of the day. She blew up almost all of the floats.
And you can't go to the lake without snacks.
Sarah was so happy when Aunt Kristie brought baby Jaxon for her to play with.
And you can't go to the lake without working on your tan a little too.
John David was so funny. He wanted to go lay with Sarah and Marleigh and catch some rays too.
I think he got bored pretty quickly, but he sure was cute.
*And going to Singletary Lake too!*
Even though we may refer to it as "Snakey Lake", we love going there.
I mean.....look at how pretty it is!
John David's boat worked great at "Snakey Lake" too.
The big girls had a great time jumping off the pier.
And it's even more beautiful in the evening.
These girls were cracking me up with their posing.
We all stopped to watch the beautiful sunset.
Absolutely gorgeous!
*Canoeing*
This year Uncle Neal and Uncle Cory took turns taking the kids on a ride in the canoes.
Katie and John David didn't want to go, but Sarah was so excited.
She loved it!
Then Uncle Neal took Aunt Melissa
*Cousin Time, ALL THE TIME!*
This is one of the main reasons why I feel the need to go home every summer.
*Cuteness, cuteness EVERYWHERE!*
Sorry Melissa! I couldn't leave this cute picture out! ;)
I love this picture of John David talking to Aaron while we were at White Lake one day.
*Free entertainment*
One afternoon Merry Grace was on a roll telling us some of her stories. She is just too funny! And adorable!
And then John David wanted to share some of his stories too. Most of his were about guns and alligators. Go figure.
Then the older girls entertained us with some of their dancing and acting skills.
But the highlight--which sadly was not captured on my camera--was my sister Melissa doing her cheerleading dance from 7th grade. I'm not sure how she remembers it after all these years, but I can assure you it was priceless!
*Watching Melissa work*
Bahahaha! Just kidding Melissa! ;)
*It's a good opportunity to impress everyone with your muscles*
John David was cracking me up. I kept asking him to look at the camera and he would show me his muscles.
Impressive!
And I love that Ethan showed off his muscles too this time.
*It's okay to jump on the bed*
One night as we were trying to get the kids ready for bed, I caught the boys jumping on the girls bed.
They were having so much fun that I didn't have the heart to tell them to stop.
So what did I do?
I did what any good mother would do.
I got out my camera and documented this sweet memory.
My how I love these sweet, silly boys!
*Playing in the sand*
Another highlight of Camp Singletary is the sand that is everywhere!
The kids love it!
*There is beauty all around!*
Seriously.....it really is just beautiful. And you can't help but feel our Savior's love when you're surrounded by his beautiful creations.
We even got to watch a gorgeous sunset the night before we left.
*Being together and making memories!*
But the absolute best thing about going to Camp Singletary is just being with our favorite Tarheels and making priceless memories with them.
Thanks for the memories everyone! We love you!
