Scenic Beach

Every year we go to Scenic Beach camping with 5 other families.  
We started 30 years ago going on Labor Day weekend for one big 
bash before school started.  The past few years we have gone a 
week earlier for better weather.  We are clear up to the first part
of August now and we did have one of the best weeks 
weatherwise this year. 
 For all those years I have take a bunch of pictures.  
Most recently I've been kind of lacks.  
This year is the first time Brooke has come for more than a weekend.  
So consequently I took almost all my pictures of Ellie and Pete.  :o)

 They found the 'dirt' right off
 Sweatshirts only because it's 9am

 Lunch at the beach
 Oyster shell gathering was one of the pasttimes
 wave jumping another
 Shane and his four girls were visiting this day
Nelle sitting in the water is Pete's age.  Fun to 
have the little ones

 The park inside the camping area


 Eating smores at the little table
  Yummmm!

We usually take a group picture every year on the night with
the most visitors.  That night was so hectic no one thought of it, or any 
other night either  :o(

Chef Cade

Cade is becoming quite the baker
in the past he's made brownies and  his birthday cake.
He wanted to make popcorn on the stove and
now this

 He tried his hand at donuts
They look pretty darn good
Maybe we could get him to make dinners now
Good Job, Cade

Watching Ellie & Pete

Chris went to Boston with a friend of his from 
San Francisco for a concert to celebrate
Chris turning 40.  Brooke had a 'mommy night 
out' planned so we went over and watched the 
kids for the evening. 
 Ellie is getting pretty good on this thing
 I think soon Ellie will be making us all kind
of thing so eat

 Blackberries are ripe
 A walk on the trail in the afternoon

 Ending at the sandbox



 The kids thought our bed was a fun place to play

And brunch in the morning after church.
We had a fun time
