Camping for dummies

My sister-in law turned 24 this past weekend. And we celebrated ... the entire weekend. It started off on Saturday, which was a surprise breakfast at the golf course:
Decorations, favors (googly bans) and Brooke's favorite 'boons'

Chocolate haupia pie ...


Then the family (minus me) went golfing at a different golf course than the one we ate breakfast at. Go figure. At around dinner time everyone came over to set up camp:

I was totally surprised at how seriously Vance's parents took this! They brought their own burners to make breakfast in the morning, walkie talkies, smores, & coolers to hold their milk and eggs in.

I'm not entirely sure what a beer can is doing on top of our plant, but I'm 99% sure Vance had something to do with it...

My camera is TERRIBLE. Here are the kind of pictures it was taking this particular night:

Brooke & I fell asleep soon after these pictures were taken

Well, we all woke up the following morning (we slept in the comfort of our own bed) & ate breakfast in our backyard and Vance's sister decided she wanted to go 'swimming.' So the 4 of us (Vance, Nicky, Brooke & I) headed off to Walmart to buy a pool for our backyard and to pick up some lunch


Little girl decided that she STILL does not like the water so she ran around outside & cuddled with everyone instead


So we threw Buddy in the pool instead, ha ha!
Poor guy. He actually quite liked it inside, but didn't take one step while he was in there!

My lil' lady is now fifteen months! We went to the pediatrician on Monday and turns out she had lost a few ounces (25.5 lbs vs. 26 lbs at one year), but I think it was due to the fact that she was refusing to eat anything for 2 days prior to her doctor's appointment [some crazy teeth, I think] Anyhoot, I'm pretty sure she's still around 26ish lbs, which still puts her at about the 90th percentile for weight and now off the charts for height!
