CAMP!!

We arrived on a HOT muggy afternoon...Liam in his indie rock shirt...later going shirtless, because really, it was just ridiculous humid.  His curls prove it!
And the next day, poor thing didn't even make it through lunch!
We had fun getting buried in the sand and Emalyn had the pleasure of burying a friend in the sand as well!
Mid week we had a little situation that required some special maneuvering.  If you look closely in this next photo, you can see the predicament Liam got himself into.  Not quite sure HOW he did it, but he was stuck for a little while.
Liam loved the popcorn that we could eat there...so much so that he would often sit with us and demand some (politely, I might add) while Emalyn played in the nearby playground. 
My boy giving me a flower.  Awwww....
Liam enjoyed his first boat ride!
And of course, highlight of all highlights, the Farmyard!!

 I think this has to be one of my favorite shots of all time...if you really know me, you know I have a love of cows.  Used to be Black Angus--only--but I've now broadened my love to Brown Jerseys.  Adore!
 This year there was a new bird house--HUNDREDS and hundreds of parakeets.  The farmyard sold little sticks with peanut butter and seeds so you could have the birds fly closely/and on the stick.

Mind you, they also landed on your head...Emalyn lasted long enough for a photo and then quickly said, "get it off!!"
 Liam making a bunny face holding a bunny.  So cute!!
 And Liam's highlight of the place, of course, the tractor.  He preferred to sit on the tractor over all the animals, slides, ponys...everything.  Such a boy!
 We made him ride his first pony.  Yeah, he wasn't liking it.
 This girl on the other hand has no problem with riding the pony, one handed while waving.  Not that I could help her if she tipped to one side because Im on the other side of the gate!!  Miss Independent!  
 A cute one with the kittens.
 And two pretty great family shots:  First at the Farmyard...

 Then by the lake on the last night there...
See you next year, camp!
