little campers

Little campers always make camping more fun. I think they help us remember how to play. Thanks girls for a job well done.

I saved my favorite for last. 

It was only a few quiet minutes during that golden hour at the end of the day. 

The rest of the family had gone inside but Nessa continued to play in the sandbox. The setting sun provided back lighting while loose strands of hair made a natural veil perfecting capturing Jenessa's soft and gentle personality.

Still more fun times from Pennsylvania....

I was so blessed to observe Joel and Judith parenting their three little ones with so much love and patience, as well as being encouraged by their healthy relating as a couple.

Only a dad would come up with a balloon game that uses the baby as a bat.

Family swing time...

I never realized Joel read with such wonderful voice animation.

Fun with Mommy at the Hands on House.

We spent an exciting morning at the Hands-on House Children's Museum. The girls wanted to paint their faces to be kitty faces. Even Austin ended up with a blue kitty nose.

I loved the velcro corn field with different places the corn might be delivered.

Austin thought the pig was a great place to explore.

After playing in the store 

the girls had a great time playing in the dress up area.

On our way out Kaelyn decided she wanted her kitty face to be black so back to the face painting we went.

Once we were outside we spent time in the playground. My favorite part was the musical instruments.

Judith took a picture of me with the three little kittens.

Bonus points will be awarded for finding how many times my reflection shows up in this post.

More of Nessa's swing-dance. 

The whole family ended up playing outside on Saturday afternoon as the sun started going down. The slanting light brought some flare to the photos.

This little guy was such a delight to be around....

happy almost all the time and busy all but when he is asleep.
