Family Camp Weekend 2009
September 10, 2009
Labor Day weekend most often finds us at Camp Li-Lo-Li…



Amelia tried the zip line in August for the first time…we could hardly believe it when we heard about it! We had to see this for ourselves…



I think Ben’s really too tall for it!

Amelia and friends with a toad:

Grandpa Gary & Grandma Celeste came out for a visit and brought Amelia’s favorite of their many dogs, Annie:

Annie, Grandpa & Amelia go on a hayride!


Amelia and Faith climb a tree while the rest of us enjoy the fire…




Before Camp, Amelia attended her friend Alice’s 6th birthday party.

I think this picture sums up their friendship quite nicely! Alice is always on the go, and Amelia can never keep up with her. Usually we’re glad of that, and I think that will only continue as they get older!

We bought a papasan chair! I don’t know where we’re going to put it yet, but it was a good sale and we really wanted one! We had one someone gave us when we were first married that was bigger than this, but it got broken. If I’d known how inexpensive they are, I would have replaced it much sooner. They have a double, love seat-sized one we have our eye on…but again, where to put it?? Hmm…

We also replaced our dishwasher…I wish I’d taken a before picture so that you could appreciate the after!

Trying out a new hairstyle copied from her friend Faith:

And first grade has begun! We are homeschooling again this year. This weekend we’re headed to Watkins Glen…should be some beautiful pictures next time you stop by steinbox!
looks like you had beautiful weather at family camp. Elijah hasn’t done the trolley yet, but I guess he probably could have with Seth’s help this year. Ruthie doesn’t ever sit still for me to do her hair.
