Family reunion

Last weekend, we attended the second annual Semke Family Reunion, hosted by my aunt and uncle on their property in Carlton. The whole family, which includes my grandparents, their six children and spouses, most of their 18 children and some spouses, a few misc girlfriends and boyfriends, and some of their (our) eight kids. It's a big family, folks! Even the dogs are invited.

We have a blast, heading out to the country, where we have a big BBQ feast, talk, play, get dirty, and just basically have a good time spending time together. Much of the family brought their tents and camped out too, though we headed home this year. We all had a great time, but none of us more than Camryn. She had so much fun playing and exploring so many outdoorsy things that we don't have here in the 'burbs. When we left, she was filthy, exhausted, and so, so happy. :) Lucky for us, my dad captured some great photos of all the fun. Enjoy!

Relaxing in the hammock

Camryn and her cousin Zoee decided to share their ice cream with each other.
Don't they look like an ad for Dreyer's? Or maybe handi wipes?

Sweet baby

Aunt Kathy took Camryn for a ride on the tractor!

Another example of Aubrey's love for hats...

Who's ticklish?

Hug!

So happy!

Indi, the wonder dog!

Charlie needs a hug...(P.S. Can you believe how big that dog is???)

Now who's ticklish?

Kisses!

Why do these two always look so cute together?

Finally, a photo of the photographer! Thanks Dad, for all the great pics!
