Our 16 day summer vacation started on July 1st in style! We drove into Canyon at about 2:00 and at around 5:00 Chuck and his brother John embarked with the eldest little ones for the first annual "Uncles Camping"! Charlie is almost 5 and Sam is 2 1/2.
They did lots of playing....
Sam has differing emotions towards her Uncle John :)....
After setting up camp they, of course, had to build a fire...
best part of camping!!!
Once it finally got dark around 10:00 the night proved quite interesting apparently :).....
This tarantula was found under Chuck and Sam's tent the next morning!!! YUCK!
The Uncles had planned on playing at the Canyon once everyone woke up but with the encouragement of sprinkles and the rough night they decided to head back to the house around 7 am. Not before giving the kids hot chocolate and powdered dougnuts :) This is Sam after about 3 hrs of sleep and on a morning sugar rush!!! :)
She was a big girl and used the big kid swing for the first time! She did awesome until she decided to let go and proceeded to flip backwards on her head! Her Daddy caught her leg and prevented her injury from being even worse than it was......here's her head injury, she lost quite a bit of hair from this spot - poor girl..... but quite a trooper, she let Daddy clean her head and then asked to get back on the swing!
Even though all 4 were pretty tired from the experience, both Daddy's said they will do it again next year! What great memories they will have!!

He was given the camera with detailed instructions to take lots of pictures and he did not fail me! Lots of documented memories thanks to Daddy :)
