Smith Reunion

We had our second annual Smith Family Camping trip heading into the 4th of July weekend. The older this guy gets, the more fun it is... and the more cousins he has to share it with.

helping Aunt T make dinner
his annual "popping out of the tent on my belly" pose
baby E's first camping trip
playing in the tent with cousin L...
not sure whose idea this was:
baby E getting in on the rolling action with his big cousins
the kids' table
peeking out the doggie door of our tent
down by the boat launch
bigger cousins wrangling younger ones back to camp...
and you can tell by their expressions just how happy they are about it
attacking people from the safety of the trunk
dad contemplating the extreme temperatures of the water and the likeliness of repeating his swim across the lake...
aunt margie with kids in tow
(yes, that's uncle M in the background riding cousin T's bike while he walks alongside)

We were sad the weather wasn't as nice as last year (especially since mom made the executive decision for us to bail on the camp-out earlier than the rest of the family), but we still had fun when we weren't freezing and there's always next year!

love the pics you posted! The one where they're all holding hands walking back from the boat launch is my absolute fave! Love you guys, Kathryn
