We have been gone all weekend!! I thought I would post a quick entry before bed tonight. This weekend we went out by Fort Sask. for some camping and family fun! It was great to see all of the cousins, aunts, uncles, second cousins, and gramma and grampa. We had beautiful weather and a lot of fun doing a bunch of different things and just hanging out. Everyone arrived Friday night and we all set up camp and enjoyed some time around the fire. Camilla hung out until late around the fire. She enjoyed her first night in a tent though!
Camilla was sooo dirty all camp. She went to bed with marshmallow/dirt stuck to her face. She and I shared a sleeping bag all weekend. It was great to snuggle!! I can't wait to take her camping again. She had a blast!
Saturday morning, after breakfast, we whipped out the sumo suits and had some killer wrestling matches.
It was pretty hilarious watching everyone. My little bro snapped a few shots of Mr. Stannix and I wrestling (he creamed me.. I was laughing too hard to do anything about it). What a blast it was!!
After everyone had a chance to wrestle, we had lunch, visited, played some games, and chatted. Camilla made lots of friends. This guy, in particular, was her fav!
She was such a trooper the whole weekend. In the late afternoon we all went into town. We played some baseball and spent an hour at the swimming pool. It was great having the pool all to ourselves!! 
We then had a big dinner to celebrate my Grampa's 75th birthday. It was a great experience. I have a pretty special Grampa. After dinner, we had everyone gather for family pics. There was a photographer there who did a giant group shot, but I snapped a few after.
On the way home, the sun was just setting. It was beautiful!! My pictures don't do it justice. It was so romantic driving back to the campsite and watching the sun sink into the horizon. It made me excited for sunsets at the ocean at the end of the month!!
Saturday night was jokes and fun around the fire. Camilla slept in someones arms until we took off to the tent for the night. It was so fun to visit with everyone. Sunday we had "eggs-in-a-bag" for breakfast, it was delish! Then some of us went in to church.

| Camilla hamming it up again!! |
The last night, we stayed up REALLY late to enjoy every last second with each other. We played our traditional game of kick the can. It was funny because we are all older and married now. The "grandparents" took all of our kidlets while we had fun ;)
THE can.... Easy to spot!
Today everyone cleaned up and we were out of there shortly after noon. What a fabulous weekend! It's great being surrounded by family and visiting with them. We had a blast! Lots of great memories were made. Can't wait 'till the next one!!
