... this time it was our annual camping trip with my family - parents, siblings, nephew, everyone! This time we were at Kettle Moraine State Park (Southern Unit) in WI. Beautiful. After Friday night's pouring rain all night long ... it was a beautiful God given weekend.
There were never-ending "ice age" trails to explore. 
Lots of zipping back and forth on the hilly road at our campsite. 
Several rounds of "Risk" to be played (Hunter actually beat his Uncle Matt in one round!! Sorry Matt ...)
Music to be enjoyed by my dreadlock, guitar strummin' brother, Eric. 
I loved watching my same said brother lovin' on his only niece.
And my genius little sister and her hubby brought this fenced in play area set up for the littlest campers - beautiful! 
And bubbles for the middle aged campers (and foam airplanes, and stuff you throw in the fire to make the flames turn different colors). Did I mention ... they're amazing with kids?
Not quite getting the bubbles ...
Will (my 8 month old nephew) having a major giggle fest watching his older cousins act like dorks. 
Lots of chillin' and story tellin' and general conversation that eventually led to laughin' till our sides ached. I would share some of the silliness, but it's one of those things where you had to be there. Oh my goodness, I'm still laughing. 
Even though I spent the weekend chasing my daughter and otherwise managing her many "moments" I felt so relaxed and actually felt like I had a chance to put my feet up. In nature. Away from home. Gorgeous.
It was great to be with you, family, love you and love how we're all growing and changing!! We have so many great years ahead of us!
