Grimstead Family Camp

In the first week of July of 2009 we had the annual Grimstead Family Campout. Everyone (except Camille, who was home sick) was able to make it for one part or another this year! It is always so much fun to spend time as a family and camping makes it that much better. Payson Lakes was beautiful as always and we enjoyed every minute of our vacation.

Aiden and Erik relaxing on the lake.

Summer trying to get some sun and keeping the sun off of Analeigh.

Jordan and Samantha

Papa and Casey snorkeled around the lake looking for treasure. Papa found me a new fishing lure.

Casey, Jordan, and I had some fun jumping off the dock into the freezing cold water. Here is a picture of Casey and me diving together.

Uncle Casey set up a hammock so Analeigh could get some sleep.

Aiden trying to catch some z's after going fishing early in the morning.

Changing Ani after she had a diaper blowout. Very hard to do when there aren't very many clean surfaces on the campground. Casey and Candi are getting some good practice!

Grandma wanted to wash her hair before her and Papa went to Grandpa Summers Birthday party.

Analeigh spending time with her Grandma Leigh.

Papa finally got a chance to use his pontoon boat that he bought just after he retired 3 years ago! He would have stayed out all day if we let him. He got some good fishing done while trolling around the lake.

Going fishing as a family.

A little too early for Ani still.

Erik catching his first fish.

Uncle Casey helped Aiden catch his first fish.

You might be a redneck if.... you use your propane torch as a weight for cooking. We love you Papa!

Love this picture of Benny and his baby girl Becca.

Summer and Candi washing their hair out in the lake.

Getting ready for the hike. I knew what they were thinking... "How can we be more cute today and get away with more havoc?"

Taking one last picture, just in case they never came back.

Jennica keeping Ani warm.

Work, work, work... or is it play, play, play?

Aiden, Haleigh, Jentry, Gordon, Mckenna, and Becca begging for candy from Aunt Candi!

Had to have our mate.

Mmmm, breakfast. Candi and Mom are always so good to make sure we are all fed.

Such a good daddy! Benny doing Emmaleigh's hair.

Candice teaching Zumba to all the girls while the guys go fishing. We all looked a bit retarded, except for Candi of course.

The family went out on the raft.

Hunks!

Aiden, Ethan, and Melinda.

Aiden and Daddy jumped out of the raft and swam back to shore.
