Pokagan State Park: Camping Trip 2009

For the last 3 years, we have been going on a camping trip with other couples. It has really been a great time to strengthen relationships for us as adults, and also for our children. This year, the group consisted of Erin & Joel, Andy & Jenna, Blare & Janel, Grayson & Tara, and us. (If you're counting - that's 10 adults and 11 children!!! AHHHH!!)

Once again, we had a fabulous time! (minus the spider bites on Nick's feet, Jessica's sudden headache and 2 boys with diarrhea.) We enjoyed lots of yummy campfire food, a hayride, about 30 minutes at the beach (before it rained), more food, a pony ride, food, bike rides, s'mores, HUGE fires (thanks to Nick, Joel, and Andy), a little outlet shopping, more food, ladder golf, and just plain good talks!

Thanks again for organizing this trip, Blare and Janel!

Enjoy the pics!

An attempt at a group pic....

The 2 "big boys". They had such a good time together!

Carter and "his girls"

Mason and I

Again, Carter and the girls....where's Brett?

The "little kid" wagon - so cute! How many children can fit in a wagon? Ask Nick or Andy - they should know!

Here's all the kids "planting their seeds"...Thanks for keeping them occupied, honey!


Oops, this isn't the camping trip. This was August's playgroup. SO fun!

Looking forward to Camping Trip 2010!! Maybe Group Camp?? We'll see!

Looks like fun! Thanks for posting pictures!

[This is so random, but Tara if you are reading this, you look really good in red (the top pic)yes, very random.]

Jessica, you ladies are more ambitious than I to take that many kiddos camping for 3 days!!

Love, Sarah

Blare, that blanket really brings out your eyes.
