Thanksgiving!

 The idea of camping thanksgiving weekend was there  . . . ever since family camping in August. But we didn't book anything b/c we wanted to play things by ear and wait for the weather forecast and see what our schedules were looking like. So the week before, the weather was looking good and the schedules not quite as good.  We were hoping to work on our landscaping thanksgiving weekend . . . but who could resist camping when the weather was so nice. That is when Carrie suggested at the very least, just camping in her yard. And that is what happened! I did not take a picture of our campsite, but this is the communal fire (that ate two of our good lawnchairs) and the camper in the background is Steve and Kate's site:) Ours is right where I am standing.

 We didn't pull in til Saturday afternoon, but we had a great little weekend. The kids had a blast with each other and it was just a really nice time.

 These girls get serious cases of giggles. You can only imagine where the milk in Anna's mouth ended up . . . or the giggles that ensued after that!

 Thankfully they have Meika to keep them in line!

 Volleyball, baseball, and spikeball were enjoyed . . .

 Trampolining .  . . and tricks.

 Karter inviting Kyra in .. . or not!

 Konnor enjoying his time on the grass :)

 On Monday we went to Deer Creek which is a beautiful little campground right down the road. The colours were great and it was such a nice day!

These girls were not overly enthused about having a picture.

 Good thing Kyra was :)

 Karter, Kyra and Aunt Carrie

We tried NUMEROUS sister pictures.  Some worked. Some didn't. We had fun anyway running from the camera/self timer to the pose and back and forth and back and forth.

 Not sure why that blade of grass had to hop in this picture . . .

 THIS is what these girls wanted to be doing. Playing in/by the water and exploring.

 Me and my little boys.

 So pretty! What a mighty God we serve!

 Me and my big boy Kev. (Kade was home helping Jonathan again)

  Konnor loved the leaves.

 Jer - after he nearly broke his ankle twice trying to climb out on a lying tree branch which over hung nothing.

 The happy (most of them) group.  A few were losing their good cheer at this point:)

I think we got it in this one!! (thanks Kev for helping us out) Too bad Melly was missing.

 Good times. Good fellowship. Good food. Good families. 

We have so much to be thankful for. So many blessings.  

To God be the glory, great things He has done and continues to do.
