An Ozark Invasion

In early August My Corner of the Ozarks was invaded by five wonderful grandchildren.  It was our Fourth Annual Camp David.


Their parents let them travel all the way from Annapolis, Maryland and from Chicago, Illinois, to My Corner of the Ozarks.

We had a great week!

Pictured are Karis, Cami, Olivia, Emily, Jackson, and Mimi.


Uncle Kent and Aunt Donna hosted us for a "fresh from the garden" cookout.  Yum, yum.

Bradley and Fatymah drove Karis, Olivia, and Emily from Maryland to Missouri and provided much needed help during the week.  We even took a Jack's Fork float trip.


Several days were spent swimming and lazing in the Jack's Fork River.


Karis was a great helper.  She received the "Best Camp Cook" award.  Is Jackson helping much?

Cousins played well together.  


Some river time was for relaxing.  Olivia looks relaxed here.

We didn't get enough water at the river.  We had our own backyard water slide.  

Great Grandpa Gene also enjoyed the kids several times during the week.  

It was all over too soon.  But the grandparents needed another week to recover.
