Camping and family wedding!

Two weekends ago we went camping with some of my family. We went out to Camp Blue Diamond - the all time favorite camp ground for our families. CBD holds lots of wonderful memories from our younger years. Liz, Joe and I use to go every year with the Yoder's, and on one of those Summer camping trips, Chris and I got engaged. It's a great family place and we hope our kids can make some wonderful memories in the years to come! On our way. I packed so much "stuff" for this camping trip - it took a week to pack and another week to unpack! :) Not really, but that's what it felt like! :)

Doing what we do best while camping.... relaxing!!!



Saturday we had a family wedding in Altoona. So we got up nice and early (like we did every morning because the kids didn't sleep in) and headed out for the wedding. It was fun getting ready in our tent and a bathhouse! :)
