family reunion at kalaloch

Okay, so here's where we spent a big chunk of our time, 4 days camping at Kalaloch. The first day we didn't even get there until about 10 pm and my parents tent was flooded (my brothers had set it up the day before) and my dad had forgotten to reload my air mattress after cleaning out the van. So Jamie spent the night in my grandma's cabin with my parents too, and I slept on my parent's cot in the tent with abby in the pac-n-play. The next day it rained early but ended up being an okay day. We dried out the extra air mattress and put it in my tent so Jamie slept by me one night and then in my parents tent the final night. Abby always woke up bright and early (and woke up most everyone else too) but she eventually went back to sleep.

I can't believe how many people showed up this year! The group campsite was packed full with cars and tents, I don't think we could've fit another person. On Saturday morning, I accidentally sprained Abby's shoulder when I pulled her out of bed and she didn't hardly move it for a whole day, then at breakfast Sunday morning she started eating with her left arm again so I didn't have to worry about that anymore. Saturday was a great day and we all had a good time down on the beach (I realized that we all stick it out through the rain just so we can have a few hours to pretend like we're in California on the beach). Except that of course, there's hardly anyone else on the beach, unlike in California!

I literally have hundreds of pictures from the weekend, so here are my favorites.
