Family "Campout"

We had the Doane Family Camp Out this weekend which didn't actually involve camping this year since Matt and I couldn't find a cabin that was big enough but also in the right price range to accommodate the family. On Friday we spent the day at Seven Peaks (a local water park), all the kids had a wonderful time of course and I think most of the adults enjoyed it as well.
On Saturday the plan was to have a day of outside games, kickball, water balloon fight, etc. but it was cold and rainy so we all spent most of the day huddled under a pavilion. The kids painted, colored with chalk and blew bubbles and the adults visited and played cards. The little kids did brave the rain and splashed in the puddles :).
The weekend did not turn out as Matt and I had planned but at least the family got to spend time together and the kids had a wonderful time playing with their cousins.
This is the only picture I managed to take... my sister-in-law Julie took tons and since she is a fabulous picture taker I will just hijack some of hers when she posts them :)
