On Twin Lake where the solar generated Aerator is working overtime~
Finally we get to the lake and swim ~right off the bat~
You caught up? Wow, Ben, you really can run fast!
Sy and Sally (Sam) playing around~
Now, if only we can get the camp stove started~
How many people does it take to start one of these things, anyway?
Awww, there's always the fire and the tripod full of good eats!
Roll those dogs!

That Bailey had a nice birthday week ~ and it sure was nice of her Great Aunt Dar and Great Uncle Bill and some of her cousins to spend it with her:) So... did visiting the campground make you miss camping?? We sure did a lot of it when our kids were young!

Paula said...

Looks like a lot of fun went on there.

Louise said...

That looks like an absolutely super place! I'm glad that you had yourself some fun this weekend.

Dar baby (a guy just got in trouble by using Tar Baby) But Dar Baby should be fair. You are one of the best at describing and showing the family fun. I'd be willing to bet the canning didn't wait too long!!! Everyone is having fun, the fall must come early up there and y'all are trying to get the best out of the lake.
Love the entry and Happy Birthday stuff. This will make a birthday to remember, that is for sure!
Love from down here.

Looks like fun Dar!

Dar, you and Bill have a family that would be the envy of most people I know. What a wonderful time that you two are willing to put the effort into this most memorable birthday event. The lake looks lovely. So do all the canned goods! I'm sure that you too were blessed as you blessed others.

Dar, great pics but you forgot the one where I smashed the cupcake in Staci's face. If looks could kill I think I would be dead lol. She asked me a million times what prompted that one, I told her that its just that its been so long since I have had the chance to pick on her!!!
