brower park

this summer we did our annual camping trip with a big group of friends...some of us related...some not. if i'm counting right, we had 14 adults and 22 kids (all under the age of 8!)...it was a ton of fun...even though the weather did not totally cooperate...


colter and dodge...dreamin of the day they can take their own fishing boat out....actually, we're dreaming about it too...since we borrowed this boat from a buddy :)

dawson and luke on their tube

dodge, dillan, colter, alli, madison and jessi...being goofy

the boys - heading out to hardy dam

dawson and madison...it is rumored she has a "little" crush on him. we wanted to take a pic of them together...ya know, to save for the slide show at their wedding reception :)

dodge & colter...2 peas in a pod...both of them were forever making dirt bike noises, goofing off and never sitting still

dodger in his rubber boots...he doesn't go anywhere without 'em!

dawson & his necklace he made in the craft barn

hallelujah for the SuGAr SHacK!!!!!! ice cream, chocolate, pop and all things sugar!!!

dawson bought daddy some sunflower seeds with his own money...what a good boy!

our little dare devil on the tube


goofing off with uncle kirk...another 2 peas in a pod....jessi, on the other hand, doesn't look too thrilled?

so, that is a brief glimpse at our 10 days at brower...contrary to what pics indicate - i was actually there...i did miss some campfire pics. also, amongst our group - we only had 2 ER visits...on the first night - first hour, acutally...renea sliced her thumb open on the fridge. and mid-week dillan went in for some funky rash-thing. we had a close call, when kevin was water skiing...he was trying to ski up onto shore...way too fast...he missed several trees, several kids, a bench and a sign...he ran all the way to the road after he jumped out of his ski...funniest thing i ever saw :)

lots of fun times...till next year!
