Summer Camp '14

Every year they make it super special.


And this year was no exception.

Andrew and Parker in the 'Climbing Tree'

 
Grandpa helped them build their own benches to take home.  Once we get ours home and placed in the perfect spot, I'll share another photo with you!
 
Summer Camp at the Farm of 2014 was one that will go down in the memory banks of these four cousins as the summer they made a water bed, painted benches, built their own benches, tie dyed shirts, made daily visits to the climbing tree, built an eagle's nest, worked in their 'workshop', took care of the goats, checked (and harrassed) the chickens, ate popsicles, had a campfire and cooked hot dogs and s'mores (almost every night), read in the hammock, played ninjas, checked on grandma's garden, and many other activites that I don't even know about.

Parker discovered the art of reading to himself during his time at Summer Camp!

One of the benches they paint every year...

 
 
Cousins enjoying popsicles!

Cameron is showing the bench that he and Andrew painted.  Don't they look alike?!  I love their similarites...espeically their hair!  And, Andrew is in the background of this photo chasing the chickens.  One of his favorite farm activities!

Parker and Cooper painted the other bench.  As the 'big brothers' of the cousins, they stick together.

The four boys had another amazing summer at the farm.

 
 

Andrew's favorite napping spot...

Boys in the Climbing Tree...

Another one in the Climbing Tree.  I can't believe how grown up Cooper is getting!

Getting the campfire started.

Before they could paint the 'old' benches, they had to clean them...


We love this tradition.

Cooper's favorite reading spot.

Parker's favorite reading spot.


Andrew loves his dogs.  Cherokee is his snuggle buddy!


What is it with boys and a campfire?!

Andrew and Cooper napped together one day.

This is my Ninja, Andrew.

Cameron's favorite napping spot.

And, here he is doing acrobatics on the hammock!
 
My two {biker} guys. Ha!

Andrew is working in his 'workshop'.

Can you tell they are having the best time?  Look at their smiles...their crazy bandannas...they are in boy heaven for sure!

My {biker} dude being the foreman of the group.

Parker being a goofball...as usual.

Andrew admires Cooper so much!  We love our cousins!

This is one of the sweetest pictures I've seen of these four...

I wonder what they're talking about?!

Andrew and Cameron are picking potatoes.

Ninjas!


Living the farm life!

Thanks grandma and grandpa, for making this time in their lives so special and for making Summer Camp 'at the Farm something they look forward to every year!
