Wilkinson Family Camp Out

When I (Crystal/ Mom) was younger, we had Wilkinson Family Camp Outs every summer. This year, over 15 years since the last one, we had another! It was so great to get to know each other again, and to meet each others' spouses, kids, and friends.

Thanks to my cousin Mollie who took most of these pics w/ her powerful camera and photography skills.

Here's our big group (from left, top-ish row): Grandpa, Nana, cousins Andrew & Michelle, 2nd cousin Ben, Lexy, Lexy's friend, Uncle Rob, Aunt Anna, Eden, Uncle Ken, Elly

(bottom-ish row): Dad, Mom, Evy, cousins Mollie & Andy, and 2nd cousin Natalie

One of the most memorable parts of our trip was this pesky bear, Tito, who liked to come around our camp looking for snacks. Here he is looking down on our site.
We sent him away empty handed.
Good thing Mom hid the snacks!

Uncle Rob w/ his arms full of Ben and Evy (5 months apart).

Everyone loves Evy's Dad! (And all us Mom's especially loved him at this moment while we were making dinner).

"I'll show you how to use it, Ben."

The men took the little ones for a walk in the morning.

Aunt Crystal read books to neices Elly, Eden, and cousin Natalie.

Nana read one of our favorite books to all the kids. They're all so captivated by it!

Perfect baby blue eyes! I love this picture.

Dad took a turn wearing Evy too.

If you look closely, you'll see that I'm wearing one of my old Wilkinson Family Camp Out t-shirts. I'm a little surprised it still fit but I had to wear it to bring back such fun memories. What a great camp out! Here's to many more!
