We got a new tent that would hold all 6 of us (the last time we tent camped, Sarah was about Andrew's age!)
It has 3 rooms
The girls' room
The boys' room
Mom & Dad's room
We were the only ones to camp at my parents' house this year. My older sister stayed at a nearby campground.
On June 20th, we had a big family gathering to celebrate 6 birthdays, plus Father's Day.
Here are Grandpa & Grandma with 17 of their 19 grandkids (1 is in Heaven and 1 wasn't born for 2 weeks!)
Here is the whole crew!
We color coded the families to make it easier to see who went with who!
Making a shirt for Grandpa

Getting ready for gifts

Andrew was ready for a nap!
Of course we had bonfires and s'mores!
That was good!
While my sister and crew were here, we also had a picnic/reunion for my Mom's side of the family
Andrew liked my grandparents' dog!
Emily was telling them about the Daddy Long Legs spider that was under the bench
The Dempsey guys by the river
Playing on the playground
Everyone that was there
My Grandpa & Grandma and 3 of their 4 girls (1 lives in Wisconsin and couldn't be there)
Joshua found an egg
more discoveries!
Andrew about to stand up
visiting
nap time!
When we got home, this was on the house
On the 3rd night, thunderstorms were forecast, so we decided to sleep in my parents' basement. There ended up being a tornado warning.
It's kind of hard to see, but the rain gauge was almost filled to the top (2") It actually was tipped a little, so it could have overflowed, also.
We found this praying mantis on our bumper.
We went to the campground to swim with my sister's family
Emily making sand castles
Dan swimming with the nieces and nephews
It was Andrew's first trip to the beach
