So how was your family camp...?

Well...
-we did get to sleep during the day
-of course we went to the beach EVERY day.


-got to shower in our own hot water showers.
(both are showers but since we only had one water heater the left one was a shower & the right one we used as a changing thing.) Of course us girls went all together and took 2 hours (5 sisters). We can't help that we have fun talking and laughing all the time. Sorry guys!


This is my dads shower with connecting changing room.
It comes with the bags that you fill with water and leave in the sun then hang it up to shower.






-the men got firewood again from the forest and Gil almost got stung by this scorpion.
(click on the picture to enlarge & see it better)
He and my brother in-law went to lift it up and he didn't even see it till it moved toward him.
-I also got stung by a Portuguese man-o-war the day we were leaving.
-my brother in law got stung by a centipede.



We played all kinds of games...
-tennis
-catch
-frisbee
-volleyball
and...
-kickball (my brother is serious now. He's got his socks all the way up.)




Go centipedes! Wa cha! Imagine us saying this with the arm stinging action! LOL!!

That was our team name. We said you had to come up with something about camp. Since there's centipedes everywhere that was our name. The other team was the "Hot, hot, hotties!" (With the sizzling finger on okole action) since it was super hot during the day.





-We did get to take naps but some of us slept more than others. Way more! I decided to put a dirty diaper in my brothers face. It sat there for the longest time. When he woke up and saw it and saw us staring at him, he couldn't do anything but crack up!









-we chased birds away
-chased flies away
-and learned how to play the "ohu something something."
(Oh uncle Gordon would be so disappointed that I can't remember the Hawaiian name for it.)
The nose flute. Uncle Gordon always has Hawaiian crafts for us to do and this time was making our own nose flutes. My brother is a pro at it now. Here he is getting ready to play.
We always have a great time when we go camping. If anyone wants to join us next year were doing it in march the spring break week.
