Family Reunion/Campout at Baumgartner campground

The big kids got to play games in the trailer too! Heidi & Will taught Brent and Allison how to play pinochle.
Grandpa gets to enjoy some cuddle time with Kristina.

The grandkids got all cleaned up for church and sang a song for us. What a nice setting for church.

The kids got out of the rain by retreating to Grandma and Grandpa's trailer to play games.
We enjoyed singing around the campfire at night. The fence around the fire pit served a multi-purpose. In addition to keeping the kids from falling into the fire, the fence became a shoe-rack to try to dry out the wet shoes.

The grandkids got to help Grandpa close up the trailer at the end of our wet weekend. It started raining AGAIN only a few minutes after this photo.

Some of the many puddles we had to deal with after the frequent rainstorms.
Don and Carol were in charge of breakfast every day. Melissa wanted to help flip the pancakes. Yummy food!

Carol and Kathrine trying to keep dry. It had just stopped raining.


Nicole and the Brinton's new puppy, Sandy. How big will Sandy be next year?

One of our many yummy meals. We do love to eat while camping.
Tiffany, Nicole, and Melissa enjoying their baked potatoes and BBQ chicken.

Melissa and Nicole helped Carol make a poppy seed cake in the Dutch oven. Yummy.


Wendy and Matt made a yummy Dutch oven cobbler that we ate right before heading for home. We had to huddle under the awning of Travis and Ninna's trailer to get out of the rain that came again, right before we left. We all felt like drowned rats but still had a lot of fun being together.

In between rainstorms, Don got all the kids playing a game of kickball.

When it rains while camping, kids know how to make the best of it. They turned the frisbees into boats. Oh to be a kid again.

Our annual family reunion/campout at Baumgartner campground. Cooking hot dogs for dinner. Yum. Don't you just love this gate we have to keep the kids from falling into the fire? It sure brings a lot of peace of mind. Everyone's clean and dry, but not for long!
