The Chape1 Family: Our Weekend up to Camp with the Willettes!

We spent this past weekend up to camp with Kate and Tom Willette and their two kiddos Cody and Kamryn. Cody is 4 days apart from Calista and Kamryn is about 6 months younger than Lily. Since it was the first weekend of bow hunting season we bent all the rules and dismissed Cody and Calista early from school on Friday and headed up north. The boys had hoped to be in the treestands to hunt that night, but that didn't happen (not entirely the girls fault). Instead we reached camp about 5:30 and the boys were able to spend the evening hanging a treestand and setting a ground blind for the morning. We had beautiful weather the whole weekend. We had a lot of fun with the Willettes and can't wait to do it again! Here's to a weekend to remember filled with good food, good friends, and great memories!

I don't think anyone will be able to see this, but when we arrived at camp the field by the pond was filled with turkeys. We hoped it meant a weekend full of wildlife! The turkeys are the little black dots in the distance!

FUN AT CAMP!

Cody LOVES the baby dolls at camp, which freaks his father out (and I find hillarious), but best of all is that I caught his father making fringe for the scarf Kate was knitting!

On Saturday afternoon we all went for a ride on the 4 wheelers, it was a beautiful day and the sky was so nice and clear. We went all through the field and brought the Willettes up to the camp on the hill to check out the view!
