Summer Camping
It was a family tradition when I was a kid!
Every summer in July, the extended family would gather at Granny's Farm for July 4th.
The kids would camp out in tents!
We would play on the old farm equipment!
Go for hikes in the woods!
Build bonfires to roast marshmallows on!
Camp out in tents some more!
Gather for group pictures!
And more pictures!
Pick wild blackberries!
Build log cabins!
Go down to the frog pond!
Get poison ivy!
Get chased out of the outhouse by wasps!It was a blast!
Dead Turkey Joke of the Day A farmer was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder.

Looks like lots of fun!
Nice pictures from the good old days----at least that's what they seem like in retrospect.
Love all the pictures
Hehe! Get poison ivy - yep! Been there done that! Except it wasn't camping with the family it was with the Girl Scouts!
