Beach week with the Hawthornes 2011

We got to spend another fun week with the Hawthornes when they came for their annual trip to the Panama City Beach. Kaylee was just getting back from her camping trip, so Sarah was with us for the first day. The girls had fun playing with Demitri (Kaylee's hamster).

Dustin Scout Camp 2011

Dustin was our only son that went to scout camp this year. Here are a few pictures that Roger took...

Derek the Green Monster

Derek got industrious and decided to weed eat around the pond. He definitely needed a shower when he was done!

Brandon starts Cub Scouts

Thanks to a closet full of hand-me-downs, Brandon was all decked out for his first Cub Scout meeting.

Kaylee's camping trip with G'pa & G'ma Shields

After the reunion in Oklahoma, Kaylee and her cousin Sarah were invited to go on a camping trip for the week with Grandpa & Grandma Shields . They visited some family graves in Oklahoma, collected hermit crabs at a place on Lake Pontchartrain, and ended up at the Gulf of Mexico. They had a great time together. These are some pictures that Grandma & Grandpa shared with us.

Gotta head to the beach!

We made yummy dinner :)

A visit from Adam & Holley

Had to take a trip out to the beach.

Abby made us aware that it happened to be her 7 1/2 birthday. We needed refreshments for Family Home Evening, I had some leftover icing in the fridge, and Kaylee had some Magic Treehouse Books she was ready to part with, so we made a party of it!

It was lots of fun to see our cousins!
