li'l su campout with friends

If it isn't obvious from all our past posts... we love camping! Camping is even better when you have friends along and 2 days of 80~degree weather! So, in mid~June we had a blast camping out by the Little Su River with our good friends, the Davies! They have 3 sweet children whom we all love spending time with.

who knew the water pump would provide such entertainment!?! This was so cute to watch Nathan use all that he had to try and get Savannah some water... what a gentleman! ;o)

These boys are definitely all~Alaskan! If there's a sled around, you gotta use it... so these 2 second~borns were sledding down a rocky hill! (I added this pic in the wrong spot... they are in jeans and sweatshirts because it was 8 in the morning and was rather chilly after a cloudless night!)

This next shot cracks me up... the kids were so excited to be on the Davies' boat that they didn't even care that some were still wearing their helmets or that there was no water nearby... there was fishing to be done!!!

another fun shot of these 2 peas in a pod on our boat ride down the Li'l Su...

where we landed on a sandy beach to spend the next few hours "fishing", digging, and snacking...



Uncle Teagen came along with us and gave Parker some sweet duck feet!



here is Parker fishing with his good buddy, Megan. They were born just a day apart and we are always surprised at how similar their personalities are... it was so cute to watch them fish and how Parker took the time to unhook their lines~ just like his dad!

Teag's face says it all... he couldn't believe how much PINK is all around his niece!



OH MY, these 3~year olds were cracking us up... welcome to their spin class! Nathan and Savannah are both new to training wheel bikes and they kept getting high centered so they decided it was more fun to just stay put and spin! And, it was easier for the adults as it kept them entertained for 20 minutes at a time and all through the evening til our midnight bedtime! Uncle Teagen told us he overheard Savannah asking Nathan if they could stop and go have a running race and Nathan said, "5 more minutes, 5 more minutes." And Savannah, true to her negotiating~self, replied with, "how 'bout "free" (3) more minutes?" To which, Nathan agreed "OK"!!! Haha~ too funny as neither of them have any concept of time but they obviously hear their moms saying this to them all the time! ;o)



It was solstice weekend so we all just kept putting on more layers as we laughed around the campfire! The sun was still bright and attitudes were happy until we finally headed into our campers at midnight! Fun day with fun friends. Savannah especially took to Miss Allison!

and here are the 2 cuties that are truly outnumbered by boys... soon there will be 5 boys between our 2 families! Savannah and Megan will have to stick together!

Thanks Davies for a sweet and memorable Solstice!
