Prepare for a whole lotta' bloggin'!
Within the first five minutes of arriving Ryan's quad somehow made it's way into a sink hole?!
Weird!
Yummy cantaloupe breakfast
Ryan forgot shorts... Day one = 90 degrees!!
Hmmm, imagine that, Levi found a tree to winch out.
But oh so fun!
This is the new face he makes all of the time!
Ian and his Indiana Jones hat
This crazy lady snuck into camp one afternoon and tried to jack my kid! The nerve!!
And of course it wouldn't be camping without a Levi sneer!

When we got back home on Sunday K's camp was in full gear! Linc and I stayed at home for a night then packed up, well really we just refilled our bags and headed to Grandma K's for a couple of days of "K's Camp of Chaos"! No really it is very orderly and an awesome time of adult fellowship while the children bond and play together. This year was the fourth year and each year seems to get better and better. There were 15 campers all under 8 years old! Linc was the youngling this year but that didn't stop him. He ate and slept and played until his little heart was content. He absolutely loves all of his cousins and was in heaven with all of those kids to watch! We played games, made crafts and music and took a short trip to the sand dunes. Levi even got in on the action, coming up after work on Monday to stay the night and help out on Tuesday. I just can't say enough about what an amazing vision K has for all of these little ones. She has truly created an environment each year that allows each of the children to fit right in despite the vast array of personalities. These children are quite amazing too. They are all so well mannered, compassionate and intelligent for such a young group. It is a delight to have Linc around so many great influences! I get quite a bit out of it too. All of the mom's have great insights on parenting to share. The past two years (last year I was PG this year I have Linc) have been so helpful, I get to come and pick each of their brains for parenting advice and I LOVE IT!

Our family has been "camping" for 7 days straight! It is a Levi, Ashley, Lincoln family tradition to go on 4th of July week out to Smith River to our favorite camping spot (this year it got delayed a week). It is always our favorite camping trip of the year and it is usually the first. We love to invite a friend or family to go with us and always get our favorite spot right by the river. This year we invited Ryan, Aimee and Ian to go with us and it was a GREAT camp! Lincoln swam for the first time, assisted of course. He loved it! He also did SO good camping it was ridiculous. In fact he put himself on a schedule while we were out there, took 3 long naps a day at the same time and slept almost through the night for four nights! I think he was destined for living outside :0) Must be Levi's blood, not mine!! We split up the meal prep and little did we know that we would be the ecstatic recipients of some amazing dutch oven lovin'. Aimee and Ryan prepared us Cinnamon rolls one morning and southern baked chicken for dinner one night!! As Ryan would say "PHENOMENAL!". We had a great time overall and what a way to start off our 2008 camping season!
