Campmeeting 2014, Westin is a Walking Disaster, 1st Time in Our Camper, Ty's 1st Girlfriend, Thai Lunch From Hell & Slip 'n' Slide Fun!

Wes:  1 Year, 7 Months & 3 Weeks Old
Ty:  3 Years, 8 Months & 3 Weeks Old

June 27 - July 3


This is what my boys do when I am packing like a fiend to go to campmeeting!  And this is the downside of Tyson being able to open all my childproof-door-handles!

Fast forward a few hours later, we had finally made it to the grocery store & then Westin opened a entire box of macaroni and dumped it out on himself in the grocery store.  I have always given him items to hold to keep him busy at the grocery store, but he has never done THIS before!!!

Our neighbors in the camper next to ours, had their granddaughter visiting for the weekend.  Immediately Ty & Charlie clicked and bonded.  They were inseparable until Charlie went home on Sunday.  I told Heath that I could see them having a summer campmeeting romance every summer and then getting married! 

Sunday Cradle Roll meeting with Daddy - they look alike in this picture, I think.

Sunday afternoon shopping ended with dinner at Red Robin...Ty fell asleep on Grammy in the middle of the meal!

Cousin train

4 girl cousins shot

Westin fell asleep trying to get out of his lower bunk!  He fell out twice during the night because he got mad and pushed with all his might on the gate & it fell out and so did he!  He got a big bruise on his face! (He was so beat up...he got 2 other bruises that week on his face...once for falling off our neighbor's camper step and the other from walking into the leg of my camper chair)

Hot dog cookout at Winslow Park with all the cousins...the kids loved this pirate ship, but there was a 7 foot drop (with fireman's pole) that was really scary with the little kids!

Love this kid!

The cousins picture that almost all of them are looking (not Westy) 

There were a bunch of pictures where some of the kids looked really cute & then the other kids weren't looking at all

2 crazy boys

Fin looks like such a model here!
I love Ty's smile here!

At Winslow Park, I was horrified to find another injury on Westin...a bite!!!  Earlier that morning Griffin & Wes had been playing & Griffin had been biting lately...so he was the likely suspect!

"Cheese!"  The 3 kiddos hiding in our closet in the camper

Playground time with Kelly & Caleb before the Cradle Roll meeting 

Westy dressed in his turtle cape at Cradle Roll

This is a taste of what our lunch with Aunt Lori was like at the Thai restaurant in Freeport...the kids were the worst behaved monsters they have ever been...they feed off each other!  They laid on the floor (like this picture), climbed underneath the table, ran away from the table, Westin ran into the kitchen twice (we were seated right by the kitchen entrance), and Finley finished off the meal by putting her hand inside the fish tank!!!!  It was unreal!!!!

Slip 'n' Slide time!

He loved it!

Sudsing up

Sharing a towel

Sharing the stroller (you can see Westin's 3 bruises on his forehead pretty well here!)

Sonia bought the kids popsicles one afternoon

Afternoon iPad time - watching Dumbo

3 cousins on the big horsey at their meeting 

The little horsey is fun too!

Cousin fun time (Tyson painted his shirt of many colors all by himself!)

Daddy came to surprise us a day early on Wednesday night!!  We were really surprised & excited!!

Great campmeeting memories! I remember bathing my kids in a bucket, and Ben also had a campmeeting romance for a couple of years. Memories that will always be there! JUDY E
