Iles Family Trip

At the beginning of August we met all the Iles family in East Texas at Piney Woods Camp for a weekend together. We were celebrating Bro. Curt and Mrs. DeDe's 30th wedding anniversary, mine and Clay's and Clint and Amanda's 5th wedding anniversary, and Terry and Sara as a newly married couple. It's really neat how all of us celebrate our anniversaries within a couple of months during the summer. A great time of the year to all get together!

Noah spent the week away from us visting PaPa and Dee and Grammie and Pops, so we just had Jude along for the ride. We left during nap time so Jude was quite content during the drive.
This was the beautiful house that Bro. Curt, Mrs. DeDe, MeMe, and the grandsons stayed in. Bro. Curt and Mrs. DeDe were so kind to get the rest of us individual hotel rooms!

Clay and his brothers grilled us some yummy hamburgers one night and steak another night. YUM!

Sweet Noah sharing a snack with his brother. Nothing makes my heart happier than this :)

My talented sis-in-law, Amanda, made this yummy and creative 7-layer dip.

Here's a photo of PaPa and his 3 grandsons.

Now that Amanda is expecting again we are wondering if it's going to make Iles grandson #4 or Iles granddaughter #1. Hmmm....

That Saturday we spent the day at a really neat water area with a huge water slide for adults and other water activities for kids. Noah even caught his first fish in a fish pond, but I have no proof because I was a terrible picture taker! Well I do have this one picture of Clay and his brothers being brothers. I think they had the most fun in this "friendly" competition of pedal car racing. Sara and I were proclaimed as the official judges. We felt a little intimidated by all the rules :)

The weekend was such a success we all agreed to do the same thing next year. Bro. Curt already has it booked for the same weekend a year from now!

Thanks Iles Family for a great time of together-ness!
