A camping we will go

Well this weekend was our annual Adams family camp out. We headed to Globe on Friday evening and ended up setting up our little campsite under the stars. We enjoyed some hot dog roasting and s'mores and stories around the fire. The next day we visited, played games, and of course our family raffle. Hunter won a large bucket full of spider man stuff and a new camping lantern. I won a really cute 4th of July decoration for the house and was lucky enough to take home the jean quilt that my mom and sisters had put together. Deke, well he got to eat most of Hunter's candy bag from the pinata. It did rain for a few hours that afternoon but it was actually really nice. That night we had a big family cookout with chicken, dutch oven potatoes, and an assortment of salads and sweets. As if we hadn't had enough to eat, Deke made a delicious peach cobbler in our new dutch oven. We then stayed up late telling stories around the campfire and then squeezed as many bodies into our tent as we could and visited even more. The kids were troopers, Hunter was a little adventurous and kept wandering off with the bigger kids without checking with us first. Then once it became dark that problem was resolved since he wouldn't leave our sides. We thought it hilarious that he was totally afraid of the port a potty and every time he had to go, it took like twenty minutes to convince him that he was going to be okay. Even though Avery is trying to cut her two top teeth (thank goodness she does have some) she was a good little camper and slept great the whole time we were there. We had so much fun and of course it went way too fast. When we arrived home last night after bathing Hunter it looked like he had brought the whole forest home with him there was so much dirt. It was so great to see everybody!!

I am not sure that my first message posted. I just want to say thank for sharing the wonderful stories of he wonder and fun at the Burch Home. My heart soared to see the picture of Hunter holding his little sissy Avery who is enjoying her thumb. I have the most precious grandchildren. I have countless blessings in my life. Thank you for sharing of your talent and lives. Love, Mom/Grandma Tobar
