This was a great pile of rocks to climb on.
Ellie and Nate enjoying the hammock together. Every time Ellie went to get out of the hammock the buttons on her pants would get stuck and it would pull her pants down and then she would blame Nate for it.
Playing Little People when it started to sprinkle. Luckily we had a large canopy that we could all fit under.
This is one of Nate's cleaner moments. I did not get a picture of him after he dumped dirt all over himself from head to toe so that he would look rusty like Mater from the Cars movie.
Some of the best smiles are when they think no one is looking. Look at the reflection in the truck window of Nate, Katje, and Ben. (Jim, Katje, and Ben Walhof came to visit Friday afternoon.)
The girls searching for treasures. Katje found a small shell that smelled like perfume.
Having a grand time in the back of Steenstra's truck. On the left: the pirate ship is sailing and as you can tell it was a noisy ship. On the right: Ellie and Kaley investigating what is over the side.
Ben and Nate relaxing by the fire after a hard day of play.
Ellie and Nate both liked telling Maverik stories.
Ellie fell asleep in the carrier on our walk (which was the purpose of the walk) and she seemed fairly comfortable so we left her in the carrier. She slept for about an hour that way.
Sunday morning Ellie is bright and cheerful at 7:30. Who knew that this innocent looking face had unpacked all of Mommy's suitcase and went and played on Nate's bed (while Nate was sleeping) while she was supposed to be going to sleep the night before. In this case quiet was not a good thing. When asked why she was on Nate's bed she said, "he's soft and I want to watch him sleep."
Nate and Kaley figured out that they could both fit in the same chair.
Heading out. So long camp site, it was fun!
