We went on our annual "Cousins camp out" this past weekend as we always do on Labor day weekend and as always we had a BLAST!! We got to see everyone and do some really fun things like swimming at the lake, playing carnival games (that the kids made up using all the empty soda cans), we went to some really cool caves and took a tour, ate some fantastic food and just got to catch up with what everyone has been up to lately!!
This year we went to Southern Indiana to Potaka Park. It was a really nice camp ground and our site backed up to the woods and was a short walk to the lake that the kids had a ball exploring and playing at. They made the "magical path" ( I think I have that right) it was a secret path through some rocks that was filled with mud that was a little over ankle deep! They had a blast tricking everyone into walking through it and watching them get stuck!
Jason and Angie (cousin and husband) made them some fishing poles with sticks and lures that Jason had and they are sure that they got some "nibbles"! Jason was the only one to actually catch a fish though. Still lots of fun. The weather was great although a bit hot, good thing we had the lake!
Poor Joshua (Nephew) was sick for the first time, on his first campout! Poor thing! He was feeling better on Monday when we all headed home so that is good! We got to meet Brady (second cousin) for the first time and what a cutie he is! I could have put him in a big bag and brought him home with me!! The kids just loved spending time with him, helping him walk all around!
Emily said "this is the life" and "I love all my cousins" about 100 times over the weekend! Jacob said he loved the caves so much that "if he had discovered it, he would have never told anyone about it so that he could sneak down and see it whenever he wanted and keep it beautiful forever"!! Katelyn weaseled her way into the Burns tent again every day I think for breakfast! I am not sure how she does it, but gotta give her credit, she gets better breakfast that we do!!
Cant wait until next year!!
