Youth group camping trip.

We took our youth group camping on an island in the ocean. It was great! We had lots of fun playing capture the flag and making smores :) The main complaint was the mosquitoes, they were so thick that we had a hard time eating without getting a mouthful of them (YUCK!) The tropical storm held off until we had the last boat load of kids on the main land!

Curtis was the cook, being close to the smoke helped a little with the mosquitoes.

It's Black Berry season!

I have been picking black berries like crazy! 16 liters in total, most of which I have turned into jam. Curtis decided to make a black berry pie before all the berries were turned into jam! It was really good.

Big helpers!

Natalie and Reuben really enjoy helping and being a part of things. Here are some pictures of them picking up the grass clippings. They had a lot of fun doing it.

We have been teaching Natalie how to pick lettuce, She loves picking things in the Garden.

Summer fun.

Reuben and Natalie had fun playing with their cousins. It's always fun getting wet and muddy!

Here is Natalie learning how to peal corn, she was so excited about it :)

Family pictures!

Since this would probably be the last time that the whole family would be together, we decided to have a picture day. This probably won't happen again for at least 4 years.

All the girls.

Just the boys, Reuben says "enough pictures for one day"!

Jackson Family Beach day 2006!

We had a beach day while we were in NH. Joanna's whole family was there. There were 10 kids with the oldest being 4! So it was very busy but still a lot of fun. The Kids enjoyed catching crabs and playing in the Ocean. Natalie was busy trying to shovel all the beach sand back in the ocean where, she thought, it belonged. Reuben enjoyed crawling around in the water :)
