"Insta"-replay #85, family camping!

Last week was a much overdue vacation!  We managed to get away from everything and just relax (well maybe not just relax)!

The week started out with a huge change for my younger daughter.  12 inches were cut off and donated to locks of love.  She was a bit nervous but very proud of herself.  The shorter hair was appreciated in the current heat wave.

Next we were off to camp.  Merry was the only child for the first night.  She made do with her dolls since there was no one else to play with.

Soon enought there were cousins and sister to play with.  They rarely stayed still long enough for a photo.

A highlight for me was teaching my girls to play chess, and realizing that they might be good at it!

Sight seeing as a family was great fun too.  We explored lava tubes with the extended family.

Hiked around a cinder cone, the veiw was amazing.

And spent an entire day learning at the High Desert Museum.

After all that "relaxing" I may need another vacation.  Seriously though it was a great week spent with my inlaws!
