Mist on the lake is a beautiful thing to wake up to

I love it when the water is so cool and calm in the morning that it looks like mirrored glass

Everyone eats at camp. A lot.

Joey and I pitched our tent on a slight incline that we didn't realize was there until it was too late. So every morning we'd wake up and our whole tent was a disaster. This, for a neat freak like me, is CATASTROPHIC.

Mom presides over her children and generally looks pleased that they are all in the same place at the same time. So cute.

Laura braided Sister's hair just about every morning

And here I am again, still trying to clean out the tent. I am frustrated.

Dad got Lasik a few months ago and he's always either putting drops in his eyes or having Mom check to see what could possibly be in there. And I'm probably going to be in huge trouble for putting this picture on the internets.

The Kid is really lazy in the mornings. And its traditional for me to wake him up in THE MOST ANNOYING WAY POSSIBLE. Here I am throwing acorns on his tent. Yes, my hair is in pigtails.

The acorns failed, so I had to actually get IN the tent and yell "GET UP KID YOU ARE LAZY" and bounce on his air mattress. Brother stood outside a safe distance away snapping pictures and giggling like the evil sibling he really is.

Sister and Laura played a lot of games. A lot of games.

I made a culinary masterpiece out of oranges, apples and grape tomatoes.

The Kid looks like he is about to eat that stick

We had a great fire every night, thanks to the fact that there was no burn ban this year! And the fact that The Kid is awesome and he built them. (There, I said it. Are you happy now?)

Dad got a new hammock from Cabela's, and it was fantastic! Andrew interrupting my reverie to take a picture of me? Not so fantastic.

It rained for two days off and on, so we sat around in our rain gear a lot. Mines all black so I look like Ninja Jenna when I wear it.

Laura doesn't like celery, but she will eat it if she decorates it with M&Ms and jelly

The Kid is disgusting

Andrew baited the snapping turtles with fish carcasses, and he tied the stringer to this huge rock so the turtles wouldn't pull them out into the lake. The turtles were numerous and HUGE.

Stephen looked cozy and warm in his sweater and stocking cap

Baseball? Imaginary UFOs? I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's priceless.

Many things were thrown into the lake. (Mostly rocks.)

Dad is enjoying his hammock. He is reading his book with gusto.

I guess the book was actually boring because every single time he started to read it he would fall asleep.

This is what he looked like from the side. And I am officially out of the will now I think.

Mom and Dad's tent

Our tent on the left, The Kid's tent on the right

Andrew and Laura's tent...and Sister and Stephen's was right next to it (looks the same, too) but I can't seem to find a picture of it anywhere. Sorry dudes.

Row, row, row your boat....

...gently across the lake!
