Family Trip (part 3)

Camping!  We met Daniel's 4 brothers and their families, Daniel's Cousin David and his family, and Daniel's parents at Kumbrabow State Forest in West Virginia for our annual camping trip!  We had great weather -- only about 1 1/2 days of rain and the rest was beautiful!  We really love this time with family!





Our cute little home for 5 days




Hannah and Lillian




Uncle Mark putting Rachel to sleep... ahhh




The Birx Bunch looking good in their camping gear




The 2009 babies
Philip Christian -- Rachel Clara -- Luke Nathanael




Playing in the stream (a favorite pastime)




Grandpa reading one of his stories after lunch




We really enjoyed meeting Luke for the first time -- what a keeper!!
Happy FIRST birthday, Luke!




Rebecca hanging out with Daddy




Cousin Jonathan didn't want to get his fingers messy with the smore -- pretty tricky!




The girls had a mass grave site for any bugs/lizards that died during our camping trip -- may they rest in peace




Sharing old camping memories from days gone by  :) 




Drew showing me one of his many funny faces  :)




It's hard work playing all day long




The girls would literally fall asleep as soon as their heads touched their pillows...




... Rachel, too

On the way to Daniel's parent's house after camping we stopped at this church.  It claims to be the smallest church in 48 states 
"Our Lady of the Pines" -- Horse Shoe Run, WV




Here are all the Birx grandkids minus Luke and the baby in Sharon's tummy  :)
