Wallace Camp-Out 2009

I decided to go to the full camp-out with the girls this year even though Ross couldn't join us until Friday night byou ecause of work. I am glad that I did even though I got sick. I am alse very grateful to my family for helping out with Emma so much while I was pre-occupied with Sara and with my need to be within hobbling distance of the restroom. Thanks guys- you rock!

This is Grandma Wallace. There are few people in the world I love more than her.
This little girl got so dirty! no matter how many times I crubbed her down, she still found a way to be consistently covered in dust and dirt.

I don't even want ot tak about how onery this girl was. She decided that sleeping and smiling were highly overrated unless Mommy was right with her at all times. Very clingy! Very obnoxious!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Heather. She's single. Date her if you are male. She is funny and gives one heck of a spongue bath. ;)

Mom and my cousin, Micah.

Dana and my cousin, Madison.

Goose Girl and Caulene. She is single too- you should date her if you are a single male. She cooks.

Emma likes the tent. She didn't want to cme out.

Pinkbunny had a relaxing weekend as well.

Campfire time. My favorite!

Jay got scared during the Millicrab story, so Pinkbunny comforted him.

This is my cousin Spencer and his harem. :) Those little girls really love him, and he is always so sweet and patient with them.

Grandpa let Caulene drive the boat. She is wearing the shirt I left at my house years ago and thought was lost. I WANT IT BACK! Aslo- she is single.

Emma and Dana

Emma got to drive the boat too, but she was a little nervous about the whole thing.

Dana was by far the most daring and exciting driver. I got wet. It was less than awesome.

I went water skiing for the first time in. . . 4 years? It had been a while, and that water was crazy choppy, so I was pretty proud of myself. Jay put me to shame later on though. That old guy can ski! I was also excited to see Spencer ski because that kid is incredible, but he cut his knuckles on the rope the first time and wasn't able to try again. Bummer!

It was really cold water. Also, I am very white!

Sara is asleep! Woot!

Grandpa told a new version of the Millicrab story this year in 3 installments- one for each night. I truly love this man!

Spencer had to leave to go pack up and head to college for the first time. I am glad he stopped in for a bit. I hope he enjoys his time at college.

Eve and Mom gossiping about something that they wouldn't tell me. I am sure it was about me, and I am still hurt! :(

Grandma always has lots of fun art projects for the grandkids.

This year it was figurines with hope, faith, family and love on them.

Sara refused to take that smock of for the rest of the day.

This little girl was spoiled rotten on this trip. She sure loves those aunts of hers!

Ross came up on Friday night, and I was THRILLED to pass off my mini-appendage to him.

Garrett got cold, so Jay channelled his inner Kangaroo. That Aussie blood is strong!

Grandpa tried to take Ross out on the boat on Saturday morning, but the wind was too strong and the waves were too big for his little boat. We didn't make it out of the cove.

It was a fun little trip, and I am grateful to my grandparents for funding and planning it.
