Little Missouri River (right by our campsite)
Me, Mae, Catie and Jacob
Mabry riding in her "boat" in the river
The boys had another "boat-building" competition this year. I believe the idea is to build a "boat" out of sticks, vines and things you find in the woods and then you all put your boat in the river and throw rocks at eachother's boats. The boat that survives the longest wins.
Andy's boat (his boat was apparently sponsored this year by the can he found in the woods).
The boys putting their boats in the water (you can see Hilliard's in the bottom right corner, since he has to take all the pics:) I believe Braden's boat was declared the winner this year. The three engineers in this contest might have been a little upset by this outcome. Better luck next year Andy, Hilliard, Scott and Jacob!
Sunday morning we woke up and it was raining outside so we played in the tent for a little bit. Mabry LOVED being in the tent.
Trip to the store for an ice cream treat!
Braden, Bethany and Caden cooking dinner. Yummy!
Sweet Boy. I love the curls!
Jacob lost his first tooth on Saturday morning. What a great camping adventure!
These are pics of Andy and Mae throwing rocks and playing in the river. Thanks Hilliard for the great pics!

5 minutes into our drive home. Camping wears a girl out!
God's beautiful creation....
Until next time!

So fun!! I'm so glad you posted all of those pictures...because I hear so much about that trip, and now can picture exactly how gorgeous it is!! Mabry is so stinkin cute...I love all your pictures!
YAY! Thanks for sharing! I'm ready to go back already!
Looks like you guys had a great time...I always enjoy seeing all the neighborhood kids I grew up with...most of them being the Hoelzle kids! Mabry is so cute, as always!
Looks like so much fun! I can't wait until we go in August. Of course we are big babies because we get an air conditioned cabin. I am impressed with the tent camping. We will definately have to try it soon. I thought until now that it would be too hard but our kids are definately old enough now. YIPPEE!
Yea! You're back, stranger! Great photos! How relaxing! By the way, I saw a commercial advertising The Backyardigans Live show, and it's coming to Houston. I recall a certain video featuring a certain blonde someone who loves a certain show???? Thought I'd pass that info onto you in case you hadn't heard about. However, should Miss Mabry see the show LIVE, the girl might actually explode considering how excited she gets over just watching it on TV! :)
so much fun! andy's boat sponsorship cracks me up. i love the pictures of andy and mabry together...so sweet!
Welcome back! I've missed you..I certainly was getting tired of checking your page, and seeing the "Eat Much" title..it was like a subliminal message or something.. lol :) How exciting is your annual camping trip!?! Too Fun. Great pics!! Keep em' coming!
So cute... looks like you guys had a blast and I knew camping was in your blood... all of you!
that looks like so much fun! what a blessing to have such a big and fun family!!! :)
I always knew someday when you all started having kids, your family would get even BIGGER. I used to want to do on those camping trips with y'all. It's really neat that your kids are going to have those memories now too!!
Thanks for sharing
Laura
