Jellystone Park

We recently to the kids to the Lake Monroe Jellystone park in

Bloomington IN. We went with our good friends and neighbors. Four adults and 5 kids. Whew! We roughed it and went "Primitive" tent camping.... meaning no electrical hookups.. Luckily we were able to get a spot far in the back of the woods for midnight screamings and whinnings. We made it through with only 1 kid waking up. No bad at all.

All and all we had a great time. This place was so fun. Among the camp amenities were, indoor pool, outdoor pool, arcade, rec room, gift shop, giant jumping pillow, and all complete with Yogi bear touring the campsites on a golf cart. yay.

We made smores, ate popcorn, swam, hiked and the girls even learned how to squat and pee in the woods.. They loved that part a little too much.

Here is my only picture of the trip. My friend Maghan did a much better documentation job than I. For a more comprehensive review of our trip please refer to the "Kellers Blog" listed in my blog list - Camping 2011

Excessive heat

This excessive heat is just not good for Snow White's hair. its just gets in the way when she is trying to drive Alex to Gymnastics.

2011 Hamilton Reunion

There they are the Hamilton Brothers and Sisters. all upteen of them. Milton, Marvin, Dale Jr. Thomas (Jack), Kenneth, Marilyn, Margaret, Martha, Mildred.

The reunion started out great, you know general misbehavior

A little clowning around in the drive way helps out too. "Hey Chad why dont we see if we can hook up a kiddie bike to a bike trailer and tow the kids around?" "Hey thats cool., Huh huh huh.

"Hey Grandma, why dont you see if you can tow the kids!" Huh huh huh huh huh

A little tug of war competition. Also not pictured was the baggo/cornhole tournament, which Brian and I lost for the 2nd year in a row to Chad and Bridget in the final match. We are still bitter.

Picture time.

Birthday celebrations.

Utter Cream- the ultimate cure

Ricky is in love with his utter cream. He carries it with him everywhere. Hurt? Just use the utter cream. ( When I was breastfeeding Alex)--- "Whats that Robyn, nipples sore from breast feeding? I gots me some utter cream that will fix that right up.

Oh and by the way it says for "veterinary use only" on the container

Brother Matt, falls victim to the utter cream doctor. He mistakenly told Ricky that he has a chronic dry face.

Look what the Easter bunny brought thet kids!

This is what can happen if you let mix ebay and drinking on a Friday night. This was the kids Easter gift this year.... We told Alex that Easter bunny helpers put it together and put it in our yard. Also thanks to brian, the trampoline is kid friendly and now has a yellow slide coming off of it....

Indy 500 Highlights

Theres only one thing to say. It was hot.

Aunt Terry and Uncle Brent seen here, dying of heat exhaustion.... Limited photos were taken at this event, due to the excessive heat and overall drunkeness on the photographers part.
