CAMPING!!

Monday we went on an overnight camping trip with some family and friends. We went to a place called Meadow Lake, about an hour and a half from here. It was so pretty. We went at a perfect time too because bow hunting just ended, and the weather is cooler so we had the place to ourselves. We didn't really have a grass area for kids to play on so Ava got pretty dirty, but she loved it.
This was our view Monday night. If I had taken the picture 3 minutes earlier it would have been a much better picture, but believe me, it was beautiful.
Tuesday afternoon we went on a four wheeler ride. We had a total of six four wheelers. Lot's of fun. Ava loves riding on the four wheelers.
Family picture down by the lake.
The women: Ashlee, Me, Phoebe, and Chelsea
Another beautiful view
This is what I call "Shideler wood gathering" : chain saw! (Wouldn't that have been nice on our camping trips, Keith?)
Joey gets really happy when he has a chain saw in his hands! Watch out!
Paul giving Ava "loves".
Yeah, finally a picture of Ava and mommy. (Doesn't happen often, I'm usually behind the camera!)

I like Chris's face all puckered up as he's watching Ava and Paul smooch. FUNNY! What a fun group you got together! I'll bet it was ablast and the area is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see you next week!

Well, I was going to tell you how awsome you look, but Meghan beat me to it. I guess it never hurts to hear it twice though right! I love the family pic. Ava is so cute in her little jeans.

Oh! I'm so jealous! I love camping! I haven't gone in ages! And I love how you added that picture of Kerri Walsh to your blog! Do you see any resemblence?

As for the danglers...I don't think you can order on-line...my friend asked the same question and I think we determined that we couldn't. I can get you some if you want. Let me know!

ALso, it was so good to see you and your cute family! Ava is a cutie-pa-tootie!!! :o)
