Yes. We went camping this weekend as a family of EIGHT! The greatest misfortune is not being able to blast all the pictures on here. But alas, thems the rules, so I found as many pictures as possible that don’t contain any forbidden faces, lol!
Laela is FINALLY crocheting!! I didn’t even teach her, Avery did!! She brought it to camp 💜 Because she’s my child.

We had the pleasure of having Cher visit for a day!! So this was the photo I sent to entice her to drive faster and get there!

Apparently Laela felt left out of the whole “baby” thing.

Rowan wanted to be dressy, lol! So he was rocking a button down shirt with his swim shorts, and he mis-buttoned it. And it was funny enough to diffuse a difficult situation. I loved it.

Piper brought out her pens to do tattoos on everyone. It has become a bit of a tradition when everyone is together.

A rare blue bird sighting at the lake! Can you spot it?

This photo cracked me right up, hahaha! SO serious. Dekker sniped Jaxon’s hat, and then they both got pretty lost in the fire.

Deep discussions about bubbles and fairy wands on the beach 💜

Cold toes 💜 Someone loves the water.

Out came the fishing poles. And hook. And down the beach, away from the people, they were sent!! Yikes yikes yikes!

Beautiful little lady 💜

Fun story! The Dahlsjos bought a paddleboat! So we have been LOVING that as a group so far this season! I don’t know what it is, but it just warms my heart to see our people pairing up 💜

Fishing for bait 😅

And these two have one of the best brother/sister vibes of the group! I LOVE when Dekker and Sadie hang out!

The weekend was loud and crazy and a bit chaotic and we were pretty over it by the end, if we’re being honest 😅 But we made it! And I am confident the weekends will only get better and better from here on out 💜 Thank you Lord for the beautiful memories we’re building in this season of our life!
