We’ve got company
June 16th, 2010 | Posted by
On the fourth day of our five day camping trip, my big brother and his two sons stopped up for the day. It was a nice treat, because Sarah, myself, and Tyler hadn’t seen them in a while. Here’s a quick rundown of the day, via pictures…
The very first picture I took on this day was taken just so I could dial in the manual settings on the camera. Upon later inspection, however, it was decided that I had to keep the picture. It seems that I have busted my big brother being a bad uncle. See for yourself. Here he is, giving Tyler a piece of gum. BUSTED!
Later, Tyler and his cousin Shawn had fun drinking water directly from the spigot.
Wait, see that bottle of water in the last pic? Directly above Tyler’s head? That’s Uncle Scott (my brother) pouring water on Tyler as he drinks the water. Always the practical joker, that one. Tyler didn’t seem to mind, though, if these pictures are any determining factor.
Later, Tyler and Shawn took pictures together:
Monkey see…
Monkey do….
Then, we went fishing. What do you think is going through Delilah’s mind here?
Cousin Kevin caught a frog for Tyler and Shawn to touch!
Later, just Shawn and I went fishing together.
And even later than that, after our very welcome company and made the drive back home, we (my parents, Sarah, myself, Tyler, and Delilah) all went into town for some Dairy Queen. Even Delilah had an ice cream cone. Then, Sarah and Tyler sat on the edge of the lake for a moment.
This was our last full day at the campground, and it was a very great day.
If you would like to see all of our camping pictures, they are here. Or you can view them one day at a time (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4). Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. This was Tyler’s first camping trip ever, and we all absolutely loved it.
I may or may not have one bonus story to share, but the memories of all the dialog have faded a bit. I’ll try to get it up, because it’s awesome, but we’ll see.

What a fun trip and those look like some great memories too! I remember my older cousin catching frogs and snakes for us to pet – we thought he was so awesome!
I have to say love how clear your pictures are – I’m severely jealous. I need a new camera badly and hope one day soon I’ll get one as wonderful as yours.

Tyler and Shawn were so cute together.
It sounds like you guys really had a great time on your camping trip. Almost enough fun for me to consider camping. Then I remember that on that very same weekend I sold Tim’s tent in our garage sale. Oops. Ok, I’m not exactly broken up over it, but I did momentarily consider after seeing your pictures that it might be possible to have fun camping. And then I remembered bugs, etc.
Thank you for sharing your pictures and your stories from the camping trip! It looks like you all had fun and a ton of great family time.
I LOVE that picture with Sarah and Tyler at the lake with the sunset….you should get that one enlarged and framed!!
