The Newman Campout 2025

Of course, there was tubing.

and boating...

...and waterskiing.

(or should I say ATTEMPTS at water-skiing?)

It took two years but Judah persevered and eventually got it!

Kem was SO CLOSE!  He tried again.  And again.  And AGAIN.  (The man doesn't give up, that's for sure!)  I thought he had it this time...

...but then...

Next year, Kemuel!

They kept at it until the sky painted itself pink.

First time is a looong time, Grandma and Grandpa went in the water too.  It was fun to see.

Grandma's idea.

Thank goodness Pipsqueak's absence deterred her from using it as a Christmas card.

Adele' spies and photographs mermaids...

Nathan and Leia show us photos and tell us all about their trip to Scotland.  They let us sample different bourbons and whiskey.

(I can't say I loved them.  ick.)

I had to snap a picture because Corynn was not in an oversized t-shirt or sweatshirt for once!  ;-)

And!  She really went above and beyond.  Notice how her sunglasses match her skirt.  

I'm sure she did this on purpose.  

For sure.

 Overexposed, but still cute!
