This year eight of the the eleven siblings came together for the fun. Anna didn't leave her mission in Hondorus, Miriam and her family had a lot on their plate with their move to San Francisco in a few weeks, and Sam had to work (although we got to spend time with him when we had family dinner at my parents house after the camp out).
Here are a few of the highlights from this year:
The hammock was a big hit! We'll definitely want to bring it whenever we go camping.

The kids put on a couple little skits at the little amphitheater there which included, The Three Little Bears, Frogs on a Log and some dancing.
Nelli loved playing with her cousins! Rachel is almost six and was so patient and sweet with our Nelli.
The kids spent a lot of time playing games and coloring at this table:
James brought a fun game called Mastermind that we had so much fun playing. Even thought it sounds like a toddler game when you describe it :)
We also played Yatzee and Bananagrams
Canoeing and fishing too:

Porter :)
Sam is a big hit with the kids, not Nelli though. She's scared of him and hides when he's around?? Silly girl :)
She did say, "bye monster" to him before we left--a little progress I suppose.
