Alex & Allen-I love this picture!

We recently (August 2nd to be exact) rented Camp Otter out to have the Becotte Family reunion. We had folks up from Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania. It was great around 70 people or so. Good food, good times, great memories. Here are some pics.

Toasting marshmallows

Loves toasting marshmallows

She let Dad take over since she turned hers into flaming kabobs.

Back in the day we used sticks, my kids have special double skewers specifically for marshmallows.

A face full of smoke.

Look at her pose no matter what's going on.

The kids love toasting marshmallows when we camp, really what kids doesn't? Her's some pics.

Camping

Playing in the slide at the campgrI made them stand next to this display at Outdoor World. Don't they look thrilled?

Alex was up for more posing only because he got to sit in a mini 4 wheeler.

Allen chillaxing

More playground pics of Rachel.

More Camping Pics

Ah the rain. The first night featured gale force winds (which by the way with a pop up camper basically acts like you have 2 sails on the ends, fun stuff) and torrential rain which lasted well into Friday.

More of the rain. I really want you to feel what we felt.

Normandy Farms

This campground was HUGE. As far as you could see sites, two baseball fields, 4 pools (one of which was indoors) and enormouse rec hall, 2 playgrounds, bocce & horseshoes, hiking so forth and so on.

This is the Rec Hall, which also included an arcade, and 2 lofts one of which was adult only.

One of the 3 outdoor pools.

Another outdoor pool, this one only went to 4.5 feet so it was great for the kids. Really helped Alex with his insecurities about swimming.

The Rec Hall

Wow what an awesome campground. The weather wasn't great, the actual site stunk but the that's what you get booking one of the 10 best campgrounds in the country two weeks before oyu want to go. So here are so pics.

Slacking on the Blog

So I haven't posted basically at all lately. And to boot we've actually had blog worthy stuff going on. We went camping, had the Becotte Family Reunion, another trip to the ER for Alex and the usual stuff. I will try and get stuff updated ASAP.
