Are you ready for winter? Getting Firewood!!

Mom and Dad have a wood burning stove, so as long as they have lived in the house they live in now, which has been most of my life, they have had to go up and get wood at the beginning of the fall to be ready for winter. This year we decided to camp up in the mountains while we cut the wood. It was great family time, We had Mom, dad, Matthew, Davids family, Derricks family, and us.

In the morning all the girls found Grandma. If only grandma had more arms.
So this is a funny story. We were getting breakfast ready when we realized that Whitney and Ady-mae were no where to be seen. So I went looking for them. I heard so laughing coming from our tent, and they were laughing hard. I went into to see what they were doing and I saw that they were bouncing each other on the air matters. One would jump while the other would sit and they would laugh so hard when either of them would fall down, which happen a lot. It was really cute. I am so glad that Whitney gets to have cousins to play with.

Whitney dressed herself that morning, if you can tell she is wearing her swimming suit. I think she was hoping there would be water where we were at but there wasn't

Strapping it all down. We ended up with two other big trailer just like this one. It is amazing what you can do with a lot of people and some good women to make lunch, bring water, and watch kids.
