As June approached it was again time for our camping trip with our Guatemalan friends. We were lucky this time to be very close to the campsite. We all arrived Friday night and headed down to Sunset Beach to watch the day end. The kids, naturally, ended up in the water.
The women.
We had ice cream and watched the ferries arrive and then headed back to camp.
In the morning the fun began. The kids jumped rope a lot.
There was an epic battle between father and son.
We headed to the beach in Wildwood. We were some of the first to arrive and had a beautiful spot to sit and play.
Olav got his run in by chasing Ashton up and down the beach.
Rudy, Paul, and Liliana enjoyed a game of wiffle ball.
After lunch on the beach we headed back to the campsite. Some rested. Rudy and Lily headed over to the lake to try out the slide.
Paul rested at the lake.
Just before dinner we all headed over to the pool.
So sweet. Friends forever.
After dinner we had to make s'mores.
The older kids had the chance to use a peep instead of a regular marshmallow and thought it was the coolest thing!
And they jumped rope some more.
Breakfast the next day took place while playing cards.
We packed up our campsites and got ready for the usual pictures. We asked Rudy to stand for a sample picture to check the light by the tree, and this is what we got. Oh boy, what a ham!
All the kids
The Guatemalans.
With a silly picture.
The Murphys
Again with silly pictures.
The Gjerdes
The Henrys
Everyone
One final big kid group hug.
