Last week was our annual trip to Jellystone! This was our 7th year going and it was a blast!
"The girls", as Giada calls them, had a blast playing together!
Jacqie talked me into going down the water slide! "You won't even get your hair wet!" she told me, and 2 seconds in a kid dumped a huge bucket on me! Then they couldn't even get a good action shot of my coming down the slide lol!
Then of course Jacqie comes down with her hair all dry, sunglasses still in tact, and looking like a boss!
Mark bought us new and improved 1970s folding chairs for around the fire! Jacqie was nice enough to give me my own cupholder.
The ladies!
Camden and Liam came up for a visit and Harper loved reading to Liam.
It was ridiculously adorable!
We had some fun practicing some cheerleading moves.
We tried to get everyone on Nick's back but we couldn't make it.
Although these two goofballs had some moves.
Nerds.
Cheer off.
Seriously...nerds.
Nana and Papa came up for a nice visit.
Kitty and Dawn came with them and brought some friends for the kids to play with. They all had a blast and Oliver is already asking for another play date!
Baby Sammie came for a visit too!!! The kids loved playing with Sammie and loving her up!
The boys!
Me and my girls with Yogi!
My babies with Yogi. I can't believe how old these kids are getting!!!
This is from our very first trip to Jellystone in 2011!!!
And this was from 2014!!!
Of course we all enjoyed the "Hey! Hey! Hey! Ride"!
Our goofy group!
Love this crew!
The kids still loved singing all the songs!
Goofballs.
Love these faces.
This year the weather was gorgeous!! We usually have really iffy weather so we were all thrilled when it was hot and gorgeous all week. They busted out this huge water slide and the kids were pumped to get on it!
That is until they realized that the water was ICE COLD!
Oliver still loved it though!
My Jellystone peeps.
Uncle Nick taught Claire how to chop some wood.
The other Uncle Nick set up a big projector screen for the kids to watch movies at night! The Wizard Of Oz was a HUGE hit!
Fishing was a hit as usual. Claire helped Uncle Nick get his worm on his hook.
Oliver caught a ton of fish!
Harper was so proud of him and cheered him on! She would run over and yell "OL-A-VER!!" He let her touch each fish that he caught!
Jacqie baited all of Harper's hooks.
Uncle Nick finally caught one with Jacqie's touch!
Love it!
My little fisherman!
My littler fisherwoman!
Read to fish!
THE GIRLS!
THE GUYS!
This year Mark and I got sleeping brand new sleeping bags to take on the trip instead of lugging all the bedding back and forth. We laughed so hard when we rolled out our "Mummy" sleeping bags but I will say, they were SUPER comfortable!
Daddy and Claire had to leave very early because Claire had a lacrosse tournament so that left me and Oliver to pack up. Oliver was such a great helper and we packed up all of our stuff, had a nice stop at the gift, and grabbed a quick selfie with Yogi before we headed home.
It was another amazing year at Jellystone. I can't believe this was our 7th year!!! We always have such a great time. I am already excited for next year!
