Marshmallows, worms, and lots of mud!

(Looking across Big Lake)
At the end of July all the Duncan's meet up in the White Mt's. for an annual family camping trip. There's tons of food, good family company, lots of rain along with lots of muddy clothes! :)
The first two days we were there it rained all day, but the last two days we were there it was gorgeous sunny weather. Colin and I even got sunburns!

Poor Colin, spent most of his days being held or in his stroller...it was so soggy out, there was no way Mama was letting him crawl around in that muddy mess...but he enjoyed everyone passing him around...


Or should I say "thrown" around!

Weeeeeee!!

Pheww!! Back in safe arms!

He loved every minute of it, he was cracking up the whole time! :)

A big hit with all the kids was digging and collecting hundreds of worms! And when I say "hundreds"...they even counted them to prove it! They had alot of time on their hands. :) So, of course Ryan couldn't wait to go fishing with Daddy. And the hard work paid off because Ryan came home with a fish he caught all by himself! He was so proud, he ate it all for dinner that night. I call him my professional camper. :)

Fishing again at Big Lake. No luck, this time. :(

Colin's idea of fishing...chewing on a bobber! :) ...a clean one of course!

Camping wouldn't be camping without roasting marshmallows!

Haley ate her's in one bite...


Ryan would roast his, then pick off that layer, then roast it again, then pick it off...he was done with his first by the time Haley was done with her third! :)

Grandma Vera is the family's well known cook... and she spoils us! Every morning we would wake up to delicious pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. Yummm...my favorite part of camping!


The two tots, Brenna and Macee...they are only 4 days apart. How cute are they!!

Here's all the "big" cousins together.

We have so many fun memories of this trip!

You took some great pictures. It looks so pretty and peaceful there. I didn't realize how many of you went. There is alot...how fun.
I can't believe the pictures of Luke and Ben throwing Colin in the air, looks like fun for Colin and scary for you.
I can't wait to see you hopefully soon.
