Our Enslow family reunion camping trip

Rilee with chocolate hands.
Erik fishing. After Marty, Miranda and Nick left we went to the stream and played. and sat.
Rilee playing in the water. I think this was just before she got a little deep and fell in. I'm glad Sonia was close and got to her quickly.
Rilee looking adorable.
Sonia playing with Brooklyn and Rilee.

Brooklyn and Rilee with their scarves that Miranda made for them while at the camp out.They were very soft and the girls loved them.

Brooklyn looking adorable.
Sonia with the girls.
Miranda enjoying camping. This was her first campout. I'm not sure if it will be a regular new hobby but I think she had some fun.
Granddad with his adorable granddaughters. It was getting a little cold so they got warmed up.
Marty and Miranda both enjoying camping. Miranda was ambitious and crocheted some scarves.
Nick setting up his tent with Brooklyn supervising. Lucky she was there to help. I forgot the stakes.
Erik and Marty barbecuing the hamburgers on Erik's cool portable propane barbecue. They did a great job.
Rilee in the tent. Kids love tents. Until it's time to go to sleep at night. Then I think they miss their beds. So do I.
Nick relaxing after working long hours and finally getting the lay off he requested.
Another of Rilee in the tent. She is so beautiful.
Brooklyn with Nick. The girls really enjoyed Uncle Nicky.

Granddad and Brooklyn. He helped her to roast marshmallows that Nicky gladly ate.
Miranda and their dog Sammy with Brooklyn. The dog wasn't used to kids and wasn't sure if they were safe.
Here is one of my friend on my shoulder. It was a pretty cool bug and it stayed there for quite a while. Later in the day he returned and someone killed him before I could stop them.
Brooklyn rode with me to the airport to pick up Nick and Dan. We shopped, picked up some stuff from Erik and Sonia's apt. , and then went to the airport. She was so cute when we went into Walmart I asked if she wanted a cookie ,which they give to kids there. While we were walking over there she said, "they have popcorn chicken here too." So we got some popcorn chicken since we hadn't had time for breakfast before we left. She ate them while we shopped. Then she was thirsty and picked out something to drink. We had fun.
Another. We had time to kill while we sat in the cell phone waiting area for the plane.
Rilee in her cute hat, being a cutie. She is such a sweetheart. This was the first time I had seen her when she could call me Nana. It just is so sweet when you hear them call you. I sure love the girls. Somehow I can't click under the last two pictures so I guess I'll just finish up my typing here. It was so nice to have our whole family together. That hadn't happened since before Brooklyn was born, I don't think. We had plenty of good food. Thank-you everyone for the great time. I still have fun thinking about it and looking at the pictures.

I have just been recovering from being gone from home for almost 3 weeks and busy the whole time. I'm used to a pretty laid back lifestyle and it was very fun to see everybody. I had an amazing time but I'm exhausted! Also I colored my hair dark the last night I was gone and have decided I hate it. I gave it time to get used to it and I am working on going back to blond. I tried yesterday but the normal color I usually do (which I had one of here) did not make much of a dent in the dark color I had done. I should be at the store right now getting lightest blond something. How do you remove the red out? would Ash blond be the best? Anyway onto the tag. I will blog about my trip later.
