MEMORIAL WEEKEND

 Knowing this weekend marked the one year anniversary of Ben's death, I wanted to do something fun with my family.  So I took them to our most favorite camping spot on earth.  Camp Joseph up in Sharon, VT.  We took along some family members and church friends for the long weekend.  I was grateful to be surrounded by such great people.  On a scale of 1-10 it was a 9.9.  We could have done without the swarms of black flies. 
Showing some love...
The cousins playing RISK...
Sitting by the campfire singing and playing games.
 The champion of "CHUBBY BUNNY"
Two of my favorite people.
PVC dart guns.
 The ever glowing fire.
 Some of the fantastic people that camped with us.
 Another favorite friend.
The group of hikers.
 Round 2 of "Chubby Bunny"
 Except this time we played with EXTRA LARGE marshmellows



The reigning champion wins again.
Voted "Tastiest Neck" by the black flies.
(poor girl)
Cousins

More cousins
 Brothers gotta KISS!
Mi Hermana
 Even more cousins
We stopped at our favorite Ice Cream place before heading out of town.

Glad you had such a nice weekend with the exception of those awful black flies. They are the worst to be sure. Love all the pictures, and it looks like everyone had an awesome time.
