That shot of your little one on top of her Daddy's shoulders with her little white mittens... ADORABLE as are all the family shots. So glad you all had fun and didn't freeze! ;-)

Looks like you had a fabulous time! I love family gatherings! I used to take my boys camping when they were younger and we had so much fun. We do not get to do stuff like that as often now. I love the misty shots and the one of Spunky on her uncle’s shoulders!

Thank you for sharing your camping trip with us!
