The second part of our time at home was spent at a national park in Tennessee, camping with my mom's side of the family. My mom has 7 siblings, and most of them have quite a few children and great grandchildren. The most that were there at any one point in time was 74.
Grandmother and 26 of the 43 grandkids.
cornhole was a big hit, and lots of time was spent both watching and playing
it was so nice to have Mummsy Dear around who didn't mind holding my fussy little girl every now and then ;)
One night the guys were shining a laser through all kinds of things...it looked pretty sweet!
The first picture is the laser shining through a mason jar. The second picture is the laser shining through a diamond ring.

Two of the days we were camping, Brighton and i tried out the pool.

It was so so good to see so much of my family again!
When i was little, the Heatwole Family Campout was one of the biggest highlights of my year...in that regard, not much has changed! Though it's no longer a yearly thing, when it does happen, it sure is special :)
It's crazy how time flies. I use to be one of the youngest kiddos there, and now my baby gets to be one of the youngest :) It won't be long until the great-grands outnumber the grands!
I'll be sharing pictures from the rest of my time at home in part 3...coming soon!
Such good memories. Mummsy
