Labor Day weekend 2013 part 2

Sunday, 9/1/13

Woke up Sunday to a beautiful day... Chris decided to try and take LeaAnn home again for a nap (that didn't work again) ;) and the rest of us hung out at the campground. When Craig announced he was taking the boys fishing, he had a whole crew that was right there with him, wanting to tag along. :) (Including a few adults ;) This particular pasture is a mile from the campsite, and John & LeaAnn Smith are the owners, a win-win situation!

The kids immediately dove in...


And it proved to be a HOT spot for fishing! As in, put the pole in and pull a fish out :) More specifically a 'chub' :)


Jude on a mission :)


So cool! The lighting was perfect.. I didn't have my big camera originally, luckily Maggie was at the campsite and drove it down to me :)

Here I am getting yelled at by Craigy b/c I'm in the water scaring the fish ;)

See! See!! Here's my big-catch Jayme! Such a kid himself ;)


Awww Brady! SO cute!

Love these facial expressions of Laynee


Too bad it was blurry :(

I tried to get the 'perfect' one... which didn't happen, but they had fun trying :)



LOVE

Such a picture perfect day...

We moved down on a sandbar to see if we'd have anymore luck...


Ms. Wiam & King Dad showed up!

Lydia was napping at the camper, Aunt Kris was her bodyguard. Poor girl... she slept for 3-hrs straight! And missed the fun, but she didn't know it ;)

Lauren's catch, though hard to see...

Guessing Carter?!? He caught a bass!

We found clams, and opened them up... ewwww!

And LeaAnn walked around demanding people listen to her :)

And then the kids started playing 'Cheetah'?? Or something like that. They were attacking the other body of water over the sand bar :)



They  had so much fun :) obviously...

Love Dana's face here :)

This water was cold on this side of the sand bar



Love, love, love!

Should have pulled the grass out ;)

the whole gang, minus Lydia :(


Here's the 'attack' part :)




Ms. Kreighton :)


Not to be left out, LeaAnn :)

Piled back in the trucks, girls vs boys (of course, mom!) and drove back to the campsite

I had to wake her up!

Love this picture of the both of them :)

Dawn & Ryan had showed up and we decided to try and take group photos...thought it turned out pretty good!




Team Sasquatch mom's!

with Lydia ;)


Here are the "Happy Camper's" of Team Sasquatch :) Thank you Kris for the great shirts! :D Did not get one of the Dad's... b/c they did not cooperate and behave appropriately for a picture! ;) Imagine that...



The dance party started :)




On top of trucks, sure :) why not?


Oh LeaAnn you're tired? I can't imagine why! :)

We had a huge crew that night, tons of fun :)




And I put my camera away at this point, but we had lots of fun with sparklers when it turned dark! Pap, our trip to Indiana for the special sparklers was a huge hit AND we took your advice and lit them in the fire :) and saved our finger-tips! I can't believe Labor Day weekend has come & gone again.
