it just got better and better...

everyone loved hiking up whiteside mountain and visiting the falls, but if it's possible, i think we had even more fun once we got back to the house and came back to life after naps.  grandpam and papaw took this whole camp cashiers thing to the max when they busted out a slip 'n slide, water balloons, and a sprinkler.  it was like another version of the poor man's water park!! 

as we learned a few weeks ago, izzy hasn't quite grasped the concept of a slip 'n slide, so daddy had to help her out a bit...

since jack laid out of the slip 'n slide festivities the last time, he was also a little unsure of how to execute a proper slide...

so josh created the torpedo game.  problem solved...

it's too bad jack has that whole violent-face-reaction-to-water problem.

we finished the night off with smores...

and fireworks and sparklers.

(well, most of us did...)

but the very, very, VERY best part of the entire trip came just before all of that. 

but you'll have to come back tomorrow for that story!!
