Rocky Mountain High

Oh, I regret that I didn't take more pictures. My only excuse is that we were too busy catching up with family, playing with cousins and managing the business of camping with children. But a wonderful time was had by all, despite our lack of documentation. :)
Blessings:
*getting to know cousins better
*introducing J to the family - and they adoring him
*meeting new cousins from countries far away
*being supported and blessed by the older generation specifically for adopting
*crafts, crafts, and more crafts!
*great campground
*great borrowed tent (thanks B & B) -except that we froze at night. In June.
*spending time with like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ

Then,
*returning home to fridge full of fresh veggies and breakfast for the next morning from dear friends!
*checking out our garden after 10 days - 10 foot sunflowers!
*sleeping without noticing what you are sleeping on -the best according to Bookworm whose hips were sore from sleeping on the ground. :)

Some of my very few pictures...
Baby cousin Rachael - J's favorite person with whom to dig in the dirt (I called her Pigpen)


Pigpen's parents finding out that Baby #9 is on the way!!


One of the many wonderful crafts - book making

More book making

Hawaiian night - dinner each night had a theme - American, Western, Italian, etc.
