on to ssi

As we traveled on to SSI for FCA camp, Papa met us there for the cute SSI golf cart parade...

Island lighthouse...

And candy shop ;)

We had Papa's golf cart for a couple of days after and enjoyed sweet family time around the island...

Love love love Epworth

Late-night dock fishing there with camp friends

And early morning quiet time views

The coaches' kids always do such a great job singing for their parents on the last night...I cry every time ;)

This one didn't want to go in our room without her mama and daddy, but couldn't hang for the late night chats either...so sweet

Bittersweet goodbyes...thankful for these!

This place and these people are such a huge part of our family's summer...we are so so thankful for the opportunity to be there every year.  Until 2017...

hhi 2016

Starting out July and our 10 days away with a few days at the beach.  So love this sweet time with friends and fam each year :)

Cannot believe these are middle schoolers now!

11th annual...and missing Bo

We kind of happened upon the Shannon Tanner show after dinner this night.  It's been a few years since we've been and I didn't know if they would think they were too old for it...

But they didn't ;)

View :))

And major cuteness

So many critters!

And great surf too

Girl time

And the big four...

The littles enjoyed their time too...

And this group picture thing gets easier and easier with bigger kiddos ;)

Beach tired is the best kind...

And they always find fun together

A little retro Funny Bones game action before hitting the beach again

And just the best kind of lovely :)

We braved a fancier dinner with the kids and they did great!

And you can't go wrong with their fun smores dessert :))

Wrapping up our time there with one last bike ride to breakfast...hard to beat for family time and picking up homemade donuts from the bakery

So thankful for a few days each summer there...we all love it so much :))
