We had a great time at the rendezvous this past weekend. The girls had a fun time exploring and making new friends. There were more than 70 participants, half of them children. We had to sew and sew and sew to get ready, but I think the experience for the kids was certainly worth the effort. Brock made some killer food!!! The weather was gorgeous, and the trees were colorful. We had a great time!
Here's the fam standing in front of our tent. I was shocked when I saw this picture because EMMA IS NEARLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS ME!!!!

Jane was stung by a bee/wasp/hornet something-or-another on Friday morning. The poor girl's cheek looked deformed. It's better now.
We camped next to our friends, the Wrights. There were lots and lots of kids.

A fabulous potluck dinner. Brock made a wonderful ham and bean dish in a dutch oven. The food was seriously great.It was a fun time. If anyone wants to come with us in the spring, I think we'll do it again. Now that we have the clothes for our kids, all we need is plates, utensils, washtubs, a water jug, benches, bedding, a fire pit, fire tools . . . I suppose this will be a work in progress for quick some time.

Loved your pictures. That was such a fun weekend, great to be next to you & your family. I hope to do it more. I am glad to hear that Jane is doing better. poor thing.
Hey Shannon, I have a weird favor to ask you; I was going to see if you could take a picture of our family for our christmas cards? I was thinking this Sunday after church,are you guys gonna be around? We'll talk, just let me know. The costume looks so cute on Abby, thank-you.
As always, I am so impressed! You all look adorable, and that food looks amazing.
I was going to make a comment about how Jane's bee/wasp/hornet sting makes her look like John McCain, but I'm above poking fun at political candidates. :)
I hope she's feeling better!
What an awesome experience! I wish you lived here so I could enlist you in sew our YW Trek outfits. You all look darling!
