Another year of Lowen Camping has passed...
We all look forward to it every year-
-- the family (there is a totaly of 49 of us, ages 1 yr 10 months to 92 years old and only 1 of us was missing this year. 17 of those 49 are in my immediate family!)
-- the food (every year there is WAY too much food and we end up eating like pigs and still bringing home a lot of it! But it will always be that way!)
-- the long, in-depth conversations (did I mention that there are 19 kids under the age of 12???)
-- the fire and the stories that come along with a bunch of adults sitting around a fire (let's just say that there was some great stories told about muscles!)
-- bugs. Yes, I am a mom of 3 boys, who would have guessed!!! One day on the outside window of our cabin was a MONSTER bug, probably 1.5-2 inches long. It stayed there for more than a day and then it just disappeared! In the meantime this is what I had:
looking at this:
... lucky us.
-- Pictures, so, soooooo many pictures (more proof of that to follow)
-- Sun, sand, surf, pool swimming, "backyard" playground, many loads of laundry hauled back and forth from the laundry room, and so many other things!
(note the child's head in the sand pile? Yeah, awesome.)
The result of being buried in the sand...
One try of getting 10 kids to pile up and take a picture!
Not so much...
Success... for the most part!
Here's to another year of it all!Can't wait for Lowen Camping Trip 2011!!!
