Camping with the Castros - 2009

This weekend we had our 1st Annual Barrientes Cousin Camping trip. It was a blast, but I bet we will be paying for it next week, lol! We are burnt, tired, but so re-energized. We rented two camp sights at Inks, and we "roughed it" for two nights. So, no more stories, and lets just enjoy the pictures....

Cousins....

Game night full of dominoes, catch phrase, and volleyball night....

Heather showed me new setting on my camera, I've had it for 4 years, and I am learning new things everyday....thanks Heather!


Heather took this one, love it, but with my new settings, lol....


Dominoes, me vs the boys, I won and this proves it!

The Shumake Family....


The views were so pretty, and this is where we picked up Adolfo and Gerald, not much luck, nothing caught to take home, but it was fun being out there, right guys, lol? Loved the sign though....

We had so much fun just hanging out, getting to catch up, and playing "Remember When", lol. The camp sight was so beautiful, the views were gorgeous, and I love having all my family in one place, even if it was 100+ degrees outside. This was Adolfo and my 1st camping trip together, and I consider it a success, we roughed it as much as we ever will, and had alot of fun! We missed all our cousins that couldn't join us, and can't wait to start planning next year's cousin trip, who knows where it will take us!

Family is such a precious gift, and we are so grateful to have such close and encouraging cousins to spend share life. Always know we are here for yall the way yall have all been here for us!

Much love and camped out! The Castros.
