She's a little bit country.....

....and a lil' bit rock 'n roll!

S absolutely loved running through the field at camp.







She loved seeing everyone at camp..... but I think her uncle got her laughing like no one else.... (well, except Daddy.....but he's in a league of his own!)





I think we may have a country girl on our hands :)

Once upon a time......

Once upon a time.....at a really cool family camp, on a huge farm, in the middle of nowhere....

there sat an itty bitty cabin nestled among the trees...


One day, two little girls went wandering nearby....



Upon seeing the itty bitty cabin, both children ran back to get their respective Mommy's permission to go explore! They were elated to find out, that the itty bitty cabin was actually a playhouse!



They were having so much fun playing.....



....that a certain little girl's little brother wandered down to see what all the fun was about!



Lucky for him, both little girls were in a really good, loving, generous mood.... (as we all know, nine year old little girls are not always so happy to share with little brothers...)
They scooped him right up......



and played happily ever after..... (or at least until they got called back for dinner!)

July 4th in my favorite place....

Do you have a place you remember from your childhood, that was special? Maybe you didn't get to visit real often, or stay real long...... but during the time you were there, it was pure magic. You'd swear the air was crisper there ,the sky was bluer..... even now, you can't even think about this place without smiling..

Well, for me, it's my family's camp, located on what we call the "other farm"....



(click to make the photo bigger... it's one of my first panoramas)

Nestled squarely in the middle of nowhere, it's 800 acres of pure fun and beauty. We try to get up to camp 2 - 3 times a summer, but no matter what, we're there for the 4th of July. It's when we celebrate my Grandmother's birthday. She's 83 years young, and this is all she asks for.... she wants for nothing other than happy memories of her family.





What makes this place amazing isn't it's breathtaking beauty though.... that's just icing on an already scrumptious cake! It's the people. I have the most amazing family on the planet, love and acceptance pours out of them. My father is one of six siblings, and the things they invent (zipline, homemade bikes, field surfing, etc, etc, etc.....)lead to days upon days of laughter and smiles!

My next few posts are going to highlight some of my favorite things at camp.... but for now, I leave you with..... well, with what we saw as we left to head back home....
