Shae's first non-camping camping weekend

We had planned to spend Memorial Day weekend camping in Dillon, but the weather forecast scared us away. So instead we drove up to see Kyle, Amy, Becky, Josh and Korti (who elected to brave the forecasted cold and rain) on Saturday... and it turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day. Oh well -- next time. So, **warning**, a lot of campground-related photos ahead.

Hi, Auntie Kortni!

Hi, Uncle Josh!

Hi, Gramma Becky!

Sittin' 'round the campfire is the best part of camping.

Every mountain girl knows the importance of a good pair of shades.

What's that??

Providing comic relief to all, Roskoe finds a cushy seat on Dexter. These two are brothers from another mother without question.

Kyle also finds a comfy seat...

Playin' with Dad in the mountain sunshine:

Does this look like 50s and rain to you? Yeah, us neither. Stupid Ashton Altieri.

Shae says hi to Roskoe. "He sure looks a lot like my puppies, except he has polka dot lips..."

Roskoe says hi to Shae. "She kinda smells like my mom and dad, except she's like 1/10th their size..."

Good idea or no? Shae attempts to ride Dexter.

Bring on the brats!

Roskoe says "brats? what brats?"

A preview of things to come: Dad and Shae are the best of camping pals.

You can tell Auntie Amy is going to be a fabulous teacher -- she brought crayons and a coloring book to play with.

"I'm thinking a turquoise and apricot treatment on this page, Auntie Amy. May I have the colors, please?"

Hard at work.

A brief karaoke interlude. Song of choice: "Funkytown."

Back to work.

Roskoe and Shae are new best pals.

...and Auntie Amy is a close second.
