Relaxing, Recovering, Mostly Washing

We made it to Aunt Karen's last night and were completely exhausted. Today our plan was to just be here. I washed all our clothes and blankets, and we both took showers!!! I really enjoy camping but at some point I just need to be in a real bed! This morning we felt much more rested.
My cousin Ashley was still here from the weekend and we were very excited to see her and her two kids. We hardly ever cross paths when we are here so it was so exciting to see how much Lilly has grown!
It didn't take too long for Joli to remember where the berries are.
Joli had a fabulous time playing with Joseph and Eli. They were all in the berry bushes this time!
Aunt Karen gave them all little buckets to fill with berries but most of them just went in their tummies.
Joseph and Joli are right about the same age and have decided that if one of them is doing something wrong then they better both do it! Trouble comes in pairs!
After every one went home it was just us and Aunt Karen. Joli kept herself occupied while Aunt Karen and I cleaned up. Uncle Sam will be so proud!
Brody also had a pretty good day. There's lots of space for him to run and play here, although there is no fence so I have to make sure he stays in the backyard. The boys are afraid of dogs and didn't really want Brody running up to him, but I took him outside on his leash and after a few minutes the boys began to pet him and love on him. Joseph even decided that he wants one! Tomorrow we get to see even more family!

Fabulous photos of the kids in the berries! Joli looks like a wee dandelion with her hair all lit by the sun. And the boys are so cute in the other photo, of course Joli is busy picking and can't be bothered to pose for that annoying camera. Hehe.
