Twigs and Bark

It's Adell's first camping trip! Yahoo!! This was Easter weekend up near Payson Arizona. The days were nice but the nights and mornings were cold! The warmest thing I could find for Adell were her pajamas and the cute little beanie. Of course we took Oliver. It was so nice of him to pose for the picture don't you think?

One of Adell's favorite thing to do is brush her teeth (more accurately her gums, she has no teeth yet) or watch mom and dad brush theirs.





Master chef Kevin hard at work... hard at work keeping warm. Notice his hands are in his pockets not on the pan handle.


Adell and Oliver what great friends!




One of the days we went out shooting and Oliver was so anxious I had to sit with him while he cringed and huddled next to me.


I did find time to shoot the shotgun. I love shooting shotguns but I always have a huge bruise on my arm the next day.



More cringing and hiding.



We went with our good friends the Malicdems. While we shot guns the kids sat with us in the back of the car. As you can see. the guns didn't bother them a bit. Of course it doesn't hurt to have gotten balls stuffed in your ears (as you can see on Adell) On the Left is little Nora the Malicdems 2nd daughter.



This is why I named this post Twigs and Bark. Kevin was bound and determined to give Adell everything a good camping trip could offer and I guess in his mind that meant plenty of bark, twigs, rocks and dirt.


My turn to cook. I prefer the good old fashioned "jonesy method" Ha Ha!


Here they are the two Malicdem girls. Nora on the left (who you can almost see past the foot in her face) and Gwen on the right.



More fun with twigs and bark.




MMM chewy!



Nothin like a dirt caked family picture to put in the photo album :)


Gwen loves to play with Oliver. The Malicdems say they would love to have a dog as long as he is just like Oliver!





Oliver found something very exciting in the ground and went after it!


Don't know what he was after but he had fun looking for it.


Here is Adell helping set up the tent. Notice the twig in her hand. Kevin started on his master plan early.


What a happy Girl. She really does love the great out doors. I don't know what took us so long to go camping!!





Here we are the whole gang from left to right. Lynell, Nora, Marlena, Gwen, Oliver, Adell, Katie
and Kevin. Quite the Crew. We had so much fun camping with our friends! We can't wait till next time!
