JELLYSTONE!!!!

Well, we had another amazing trip to Jellystone this year! Every year it just gets better.  I mean what could be better than a week with all of my friends and our kids?!  Nothing, that's what!
All packed up and ready to go!!!!!
Once we all got settled the kids couldn't wait to have the first campfire.  
The kids are getting so big.  Every year it amazes me how old they are.
The girls were big shots this year.  They loved going from cabin to cabin to hang out just doing their "own thing".
The big girls couldn't get enough of Harper.  
Grandma, Aunt Erin, Aunt Sara, Owen, and Kayden came up for the day. 
Owen, Grandma, Mark, and Oliver loved going on the canoes.
Uncle Nick had a blast with Oliver at the waterpark.
And all the other kids too ;)
 Awww.....the Cappellis.
Seriously with this face!
Owen loved the waterpark, even with his boo boo finger.
Last week's theme was Christmas In July!  Oliver loved dressing up for the Christmas Hayride!
Even Claire wanted to wear her Santa Hat.
The kids loved keeping Harper entertained while waiting for the hayride.
The kids all waiting together!
And we all loved singing Christmas songs on the ride, even if we couldn't remember all the words to Frosty.
 The kids still love their hugs from Yogi.
 The fam with Yogi!
After the hayride we all enjoyed some delicious ice cream sundaes.  
The next morning during breakfast we got a surprise visit from Yogi Santa!
The kids loved seeing him!
My kids still love Yogi.
So do the ladies.
Regardless of what Jellystone says, I feel that Nick was definitely the winner of the decoration contest.
The kids loved playing with their treat bags from Yogi.
The playground is always a big hit.
Too cool for school.
 Hot Mamas.  They are growing up so fast.
More Yogi fun.
Oliver loved him some Boo Boo.
Like seriously, loved Boo Boo.
Then of course, there was Laser Tag!
 While waiting the kids helped Uncle Nick get camouflaged .
No one was gonna find him.
The kids didn't really get the whole idea that you should hide and try not get shot.
Watch out for Oliver!
 Frankie was no joke.
After a tough game of Laser tag, it was time for some Peddle Carts.  Uncle Nick helped Claire get around!
The he helped Oliver.  I am not sure who had more fun, Oliver or Uncle Nick.
Even Jessica jumped into the fun.
Potty break for this little Ninja Turtle.
We snuck in a little late night fishing!
 And Oliver was the only one to catch a fish!!!!!!  He did all by himself!!!  After he caught the fish he couldn't wait to tell Papa about it!  While we were walking back to the cottage he told me, "Mom, I think God said, 'Today Oliver is gonna catch a fish.  It is his turn.' Yeah, I bet that is what God said."  I love that kid.
The big girls even broke and had fun swimming with the little kids!
And you can't forget our fun at the beach!
 The boys loved swimming with Uncle Nick.
The boys couldn't get enough of canoeing with the Nicks!  The went right through the fountain!!!  Eventually they had to bail all of the water out of the boat!

After leaving Jellystone, we surprised the kids and stopped at Nana and Papa's cottage that they rented!
 The kids were thrilled with this surprise!  
Papa grilled up some delicious dinners!
It was so nice to relax and enjoy so family time at the beach.
I love these guys.

It was an amazing week.  This is what summer is all about.  We made some great memories this week and I enjoyed every second of this time with my family and friends.
