Melanie and Josh


Coartney and Sarah

The dunking contest was just beginning. Looks like Brad is going to win this one.

Other activities - fishing for huge catfish.

He catches, little sis dips it up.
Brad yells fetch and look at Grandpa, jumps in the mule and runs to get it.

And I would guess the most fun was had by these three.

The judges section. (I think all they gave out was PERFECT 10'S.)

After looking at all the pictures I took it appears that Doug and Devin were hiding from the camera.

And after a hard day this is the best spot in camp.

Grandma Hawkins got him a carbon monoxide/ smoke detector for the trailer.

MMMMMMMM homemade pizza.

Here's the cook.

Grandma Dorothy and Ronnie.

Carebare.

Clint and Grandma Dorothy

I told Clint to put his arm around his mother. Well if you don't know Clint he's quite a character.

Oh the maid too. Maybe he was just posing for pictures.





Wink, wink.
