Family Camp 2016

My (possibly) last year of Family Camp was awesome! I'm so glad our homeschool group gets this opportunity every Labor Day weekend. It's really special and every year we make unforgettable memories.

I love this place.

Maren and Nicole went a little far with the friendship thing...=]

Beautiful Midwestern sky. 

The first night Katie left for college--best of luck at University of Mary!!

After Mass every year is the mandatory group photo. 

Mr. Benz gave us a ride back from Mass in the bed of his pickup.

Thomas and his bundle of cold cuteness.

The more competitive campers spent lots of time playing beanbags.

This child was very cute.

In fact, there were numerous adorable children.

Most of the weekend was cloudy and windy, but we didn't mind.

Watching the bean-bag games.

Many selfies occurred throughout the weekend.

We seniors are so mature...

The boys serenaded us while we took our annual playground pictures.

4-year-old Josie, whom Ann and I dubbed the "magical fairy child".

I took some selfies with Josie. She was skeptical at first.

But then she was very amused by the front-facing camera!

Marguerite joined us, too.

Maren photographed our efforts.

Bye-bye, Broomtree!
