As you can tell from my previous posts, our trip to Gun Lake was filled with a birthday party and lots and lots of swimming. However, there were also some funny things that happened back at the trailer during those few times that we were actually hanging out there.

Allison had handed out candy as her party favors for her birthday, in addition, Aunt Catherine painted the girls nails. Gabrielle thought it was really funny when she had new pink nails and a blue tongue from her Laffy Taffy. She found it even funnier when she realized her tongue matched her shirt.

As I mentioned before, Aunt Barb brought some of her
grandkids out to the lake for the day.
While the other kids were in the water,
Matea and Grandma had some great one on one time on the swing.

On the way back from the lake one night,
the kids discovered the library they had at the camp ground host site.
They each picked a book for the evening, and I thought it was really cute
how Joshua and Allison plopped themselves in their chairs
next to the fire with their newly borrowed books.
I love seeing their love for reading.

Matthew had a blast eating marshmallows.
The facial expressions he made as he was given the freedom to
dig into that marshmallow bag was priceless.
Then, after he got the marshmallow he had to stuff the entire
thing in his mouth at one time. Hilarious!

I don't know how it got started, but one by one all of the kids ended up in
Matthew's little play area/jail/cage - whichever words you choose to use.
It was quite a sight.
