Wallace Family Camping Trip

We spent the first week of July free of electronics, showers and air conditioning. Every year my family goes on a big camping trip and I'm so glad that Eric and I were able to go! There's 6 kids in my family, and we've all found our significant others. We have two nephews and two more kids on the way with me and my sister. Almost everyone was able to make it along, plus some friends and their kids. 

We spent our days lounging around, fishing, skipping rocks, making food over the fire, playing cards, making walking sticks, and laughing around the campfire. It was either really hot or REALLY rainy. Every night was spent with beads of water slamming our tents, and we had to protect everything from getting wet. BUT we had so much fun and I took LOTS of pictures! Except my 15 week pregnancy picture... But I did manage to snap my 16 week shot! 

My favorite nature shot of the weekend. 

We had the Fourth of July during our trip, so we still had to show our country pride :)

My brother Mark and his wife Angie. I caught a cute moment here :) 

I was supposed to find out the gender of the baby today, but the baby just was not cooperating!! He/She was all bunched up with the umbilical chord inbetween the little legs.. No good!! But tomorrow we're trying again and I have a good feeling about it! Then I'll be able to post all my pictures from the gender reveal party that we'll have! For now, here's 16 weeks! I've grown A LOT in the past 2 weeks! And on Thursday I'll already be 17 weeks along! This pregnancy is flying right by :)

Eric turned into a photographer and asked me to pose for him. Oviously, by the end I wasn't taking posing very seriously haha 

Hopefully more posts to come really soon about Baby Payne!!
