Smith family campout...

Every year my family goes camping together with the whole family. This is the first time we have all been there at the same time in forever. This is the first time Chase and Sadi have been camping with all of their cousins. It was such a blast! Here are some of the cousins together (to hard to round all of them up in the wild).(left to right: Top row: Trevor, Tori, Kelsey, Kyle. Middle row: Natalia, Karsyn, Bailee, Tifani, Bella. Bottom row: Emmrey, Ashley, Chase, Sadi). Me with my two sisters...we decided we look nothing alike! There was so much to do there we had a hard time packing in all the fun things to do. The kids made ice cream, Chase thought his hands were going to freeze off!
But the reward was ohh so delicious!!We made jewelry, decorated bandannas, played sand volleyball all day long, shot marshmallow shooters, etc. It was a lot of fun packed into just a few days. The last night camping we had family game night. Each family was their own team. We had team colors and competed against each other. This was my kids favorite thing we did. We had a scavenger hunt, had to design a cereal box with our given theme (example: ours was a cereal for weight loss for a caveman). We also had to produce our own commercial for it. The finished products: Left to right: Chicken pops, Rainbow bam, Sealicious, Cocoa Colon Crunchies, Mush Mellow Maties, Tree-tos.
We also had a toilet paper fashion show. We had 15 minutes and one roll of T.P. to design a fashionable outfit. Kyle was a good sport to model our prom look, complete with corsage. It looked pretty good. We had some competition with a housekeeping maid outfit (Tanya), A complete bird (Natalia), A hot mama? (Susan), A days of 47 pioneer (Bailee), and a bride (Bella). Grandpa and Grandma were in charge of judging and scoring all the events. In the end we came in second....were still disputing that! We ended the night with camping awards for everyone. ...followed by the traditional rainstorm (happens every year!) It was the most fun camping we have had in a very long time! Miss all you guys already!
