Camping 2011 | The Photos

So glad Lily is better, looks like you had a great time camping!

So glad to hear that Lily is better!!
Love the photos, I am not a camper but it looks fun, maybe I should try it again!

Love your photos! These are precious times and you captured them. My children are teenagers and they are not interested in camping, just theme parks right now.

Glad to hear Lily is doing better. Steffi's been on wet dog food for over half her life because of the bladder stone. I especially love the last pic of Chris with the kids. It just says it all.

great news on Lily. Great pics once again. Can i ask if they were all taken in manuel mode.

So happy Lily is home and safe with her family. The pictures are great and wow you really are roughing it, the lake right there and all those woods. My favorite photo is the last one and I agree the kids look older each time you show us. Simon is very handsome just like his dad also. It looks as though you had a lot of cold days or nights with the winter wear and long sleeves/coats, hope it some warm days too. Can't wait to see what you do with your pictures.

p.s. I'm so excited and counting down till WITL next week, fun fun fun

Thank you for sharing your pictures! Looking at them makes me homesick :( I am from NW WA, but we are currently stationed in the St. Louis area and nothing comes close to the beauty of that area and especially this time of year when we can barely go outside because of the heat and humidity I miss home!! So I loved seeing the scenery in your photos... trees and mountains!! Also glad to hear that your Lily is doing better!

What AMAZING pictures! The last two are my absolute favorites!!! The one of your daughter is spectacular the way the light shines on her face; she is SO stinking cute, too! Also, that last one is fantastic - capturing the interaction between your husband and kids. LOVE THESE! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing... kind of makes me want to try camping with kids... someday. - Sarah, SAHM of NB and 25mo old boys

Beautiful pics! Glad to hear about Lily -

Question regarding WITL. I'm trying to go thru some patterned papers that might work well together. What would you suggest as far as the number of each? Hope this makes sense..... I'd appreciate any input you may have. THANKS!

All the pictures are wonderful, but that last one takes the cake. What a satisfied Daddy face he has there. : )

Oh my, can't believe how Simon and Anna have grown. Simon is going to be such a handsome young man!

Every time I listen to the song "Lily" by the fabulous band Pink Martini, I think of you and your dog. The song is a little ambiguous--not sure whether it is about a coy girlfriend or a beloved pup, but it's fabulous either way! Happy to hear that she is doing better.

Ali that last photo took my breath away.
So happy to her you had a good outcome with Lilly x

Great photos of your trip and ever so glad to hear that Lilly is so much better! There is something about sitting in a circle around a campfire that gives you that "this is really nice" feeling, I think and am glad you will be making memories from this trip!

Love the s'more shirt on the not-Simon kiddo!! Any info on the source of that! Quick google search yielded some, but not nearly as great!! Sign of relief of about Lily, we know what a big part of families the four legged creatures are in our family.

Sooooooo happy to hear the great news about Lily! I have been praying for your family and Lily too! Glad your camping trip had a good ending! Enjoyed seeing your photos too.

hi ali! lovely pictures!! so glad to hear lily is going to be ok!! wonderful news! :)

Looks like a very fun trip...love the activities that seemed planned for the kids - especially the t-shirt making!

And glad to hear Lily is home and doing well!! That made my heart happy. =)

Nice really love them.

What a wonderful time it looks like you all had. I haven't been camping since I was a kid. I don't remember it being as nice as it looks in your pics.

So glad Lily is doing better!

I think my favorite shot might be the black olives one. I remember doing that so much as a kid. :)
