Our family camping trip for the year was held
this year at Natural Bridge in Ky. We had most
of the grand kids, 2 were missing, Kenzie had broken
her arm just a few days before and had to have surgery
so she and Tara didn't get to come. Chrissy
and Elijah didn't get to make it either. Kristy
and Travis had to work and her camping these days
is at a Holiday Inn. HaHa
John William was of course working also.
So we had some friends that joined us. The first few
days there were only about 10 of us. Then
on Wed. The crowd started to arrive. I
think we were up to 17, then on Friday 18, Then
back down to 12 on Friday evening,
then up to 14 Sat. morning. So they came and went. But
it was good to have them for whatever time they could come.

Yes that is what their eating. Lasagna was for
dinner and a few noodles were extra and going to be
thrown out, but no worries nothing went to waste.
Bryson and Jake they just loved them.

my cousin Ann and I also went to visit with
Grandma Chasteen, got to see Wanda, Mary and Ronald

It was a great camping trip. We miss anyone that
couldn't make it. Hopefully next time we can get everyone
together, although that could almost be impossible anymore.
We love you all.
